Surah An Nisa

Translation by:
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

1. يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوْا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَكُمْ مِّنْ نَّفْسٍ وَّاحِدَةٍ وَّخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالًا كَثِيْرًا وَّنِسَاۤءً ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ الَّذِيْ تَسَاۤءَلُوْنَ بِهٖ وَالْاَرْحَامَ ۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيْبًا

   Yā ayyuhan-nāsuttaqū rabbakumul-lażī khalaqakum min nafsiw wāḥidatiw wa khalaqa minhā zaujahā wa baṡṡa minhumā rijālan kaṡīraw wa nisā'ā(n), wattaqullāhal-lażī tasā'alūna bihī wal-arḥām(a), innallāha kāna ‘alaikum raqībā(n).

   O humanity! Be mindful of your Lord Who created you from a single soul, and from it He created its mate, and through both He spread countless men and women. And be mindful of Allah—in Whose Name you appeal to one another—and ˹honour˺ family ties. Surely Allah is ever Watchful over you.

2. وَاٰتُوا الْيَتٰمٰىٓ اَمْوَالَهُمْ وَلَا تَتَبَدَّلُوا الْخَبِيْثَ بِالطَّيِّبِ ۖ وَلَا تَأْكُلُوْٓا اَمْوَالَهُمْ اِلٰٓى اَمْوَالِكُمْ ۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ حُوْبًا كَبِيْرًا

   Wa ātul-yatāmā amwālahum wa lā tatabaddalul-khabīṡa biṭ-ṭayyib(i), wa lā ta'kulū amwālahum ilā amwālikum, innahū kāna ḥūban kabīrā(n).

   Give orphans their wealth ˹when they reach maturity˺, and do not exchange your worthless possessions for their valuables, nor cheat them by mixing their wealth with your own. For this would indeed be a great sin.

3. وَاِنْ خِفْتُمْ اَلَّا تُقْسِطُوْا فِى الْيَتٰمٰى فَانْكِحُوْا مَا طَابَ لَكُمْ مِّنَ النِّسَاۤءِ مَثْنٰى وَثُلٰثَ وَرُبٰعَ ۚ فَاِنْ خِفْتُمْ اَلَّا تَعْدِلُوْا فَوَاحِدَةً اَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ اَيْمَانُكُمْ ۗ ذٰلِكَ اَدْنٰٓى اَلَّا تَعُوْلُوْاۗ

   Wa in khiftum allā tuqsiṭū fil-yatāmā fankiḥū mā ṭāba lakum minan-nisā'i maṡnā wa ṡulāṡa wa rubā‘(a), fa in khiftum allā ta‘dilū fa wāḥidatan au mā malakat aimānukum, żālika adnā allā ta‘ūlū.

   If you fear you might fail to give orphan women their ˹due˺ rights ˹if you were to marry them˺, then marry other women of your choice—two, three, or four. But if you are afraid you will fail to maintain justice, then ˹content yourselves with˺ one or those ˹bondwomen˺ in your possession. This way you are less likely to commit injustice.

4. وَاٰتُوا النِّسَاۤءَ صَدُقٰتِهِنَّ نِحْلَةً ۗ فَاِنْ طِبْنَ لَكُمْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِّنْهُ نَفْسًا فَكُلُوْهُ هَنِيْۤـًٔا مَّرِيْۤـًٔا

   Wa ātun-nisā'a ṣaduqātihinna niḥlah(tan), fa in ṭibna lakum ‘an syai'im minhu nafsan fa kulūhu hanī'am marī'ā(n).

   Give women ˹you wed˺ their due dowries graciously. But if they waive some of it willingly, then you may enjoy it freely with a clear conscience.

5. وَلَا تُؤْتُوا السُّفَهَاۤءَ اَمْوَالَكُمُ الَّتِيْ جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ قِيٰمًا وَّارْزُقُوْهُمْ فِيْهَا وَاكْسُوْهُمْ وَقُوْلُوْا لَهُمْ قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوْفًا

   Wa lā tu'tus-sufahā'a amwālakumul-latī ja‘alallāhu lakum qiyāmaw warzuqūhum fīhā waksūhum wa qūlū lahum qaulam ma‘rūfā(n).

   Do not entrust the incapable ˹among your children and women˺ with your wealth which Allah has made a means of support for you—but feed and clothe them from it, and speak to them kindly.

6. وَابْتَلُوا الْيَتٰمٰى حَتّٰىٓ اِذَا بَلَغُوا النِّكَاحَۚ فَاِنْ اٰنَسْتُمْ مِّنْهُمْ رُشْدًا فَادْفَعُوْٓا اِلَيْهِمْ اَمْوَالَهُمْ ۚ وَلَا تَأْكُلُوْهَآ اِسْرَافًا وَّبِدَارًا اَنْ يَّكْبَرُوْا ۗ وَمَنْ كَانَ غَنِيًّا فَلْيَسْتَعْفِفْ ۚ وَمَنْ كَانَ فَقِيْرًا فَلْيَأْكُلْ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ ۗ فَاِذَا دَفَعْتُمْ اِلَيْهِمْ اَمْوَالَهُمْ فَاَشْهِدُوْا عَلَيْهِمْ ۗ وَكَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ حَسِيْبًا

   Wabtalul-yatāmā ḥattā iżā balagun-nikāḥ(a), fa in ānastum minhum rusydan fadfa‘ū ilaihim amwālahum, wa lā ta'kulūhā isrāfaw wa bidāran ay yakbarū, wa man kāna ganiyyan falyasta‘fif, wa man kāna faqīran falya'kul bil-ma‘rūf(i), fa iżā dafa‘tum ilaihim amwālahum fa asyhidū ‘alaihim, wa kafā billāhi ḥasībā(n).

   Test ˹the competence of˺ the orphans until they reach a marriageable age. Then if you feel they are capable of sound judgment, return their wealth to them. And do not consume it wastefully and hastily before they grow up ˹to demand it˺. If the guardian is well-off, they should not take compensation; but if the guardian is poor, let them take a reasonable provision. When you give orphans back their property, call in witnesses. And sufficient is Allah as a ˹vigilant˺ Reckoner.

7. لِلرِّجَالِ نَصِيْبٌ مِّمَّا تَرَكَ الْوَالِدٰنِ وَالْاَقْرَبُوْنَۖ وَلِلنِّسَاۤءِ نَصِيْبٌ مِّمَّا تَرَكَ الْوَالِدٰنِ وَالْاَقْرَبُوْنَ مِمَّا قَلَّ مِنْهُ اَوْ كَثُرَ ۗ نَصِيْبًا مَّفْرُوْضًا

   Lir-rijāli naṣībum mimmā tarakal-wālidāni wal-aqrabūn(a), wa lin-nisā'i naṣībum mimmā tarakal-wālidāni wal-aqrabūna mimmā qalla minhu au kaṡur(a), naṣībam mafrūḍā(n).

   For men there is a share in what their parents and close relatives leave, and for women there is a share in what their parents and close relatives leave—whether it is little or much. ˹These are˺ obligatory shares.

8. وَاِذَا حَضَرَ الْقِسْمَةَ اُولُوا الْقُرْبٰى وَالْيَتٰمٰى وَالْمَسٰكِيْنُ فَارْزُقُوْهُمْ مِّنْهُ وَقُوْلُوْا لَهُمْ قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوْفًا

   Wa iżā ḥaḍaral-qismata ulul-qurbā wal-yatāmā wal-masākīnu farzuqūhum minhu wa qūlū lahum qaulam ma‘rūfā(n).

   If ˹non-inheriting˺ relatives, orphans, or the needy are present at the time of distribution, offer them a ˹small˺ provision from it and speak to them kindly.

9. وَلْيَخْشَ الَّذِيْنَ لَوْ تَرَكُوْا مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّةً ضِعٰفًا خَافُوْا عَلَيْهِمْۖ فَلْيَتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَلْيَقُوْلُوْا قَوْلًا سَدِيْدًا

   Walyakhsyal-lażīna lau tarakū min khalfihim żurriyyatan ḍi‘āfan khāfū ‘alaihim, falyattaqullāha walyaqūlū qaulan sadīdā(n).

   Let the guardians be as concerned ˹for the orphans˺ as they would if they were to ˹die and˺ leave ˹their own˺ helpless children behind. So let them be mindful of Allah and speak equitably.

10. اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يَأْكُلُوْنَ اَمْوَالَ الْيَتٰمٰى ظُلْمًا اِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُوْنَ فِيْ بُطُوْنِهِمْ نَارًا ۗ وَسَيَصْلَوْنَ سَعِيْرًا ࣖ

    Innal-lażīna ya'kulūna amwālal-yatāmā ẓulman innamā ya'kulūna fī buṭūnihim nārā(n), wa sayaṣlauna sa‘īrā(n).

    Indeed, those who unjustly consume orphans’ wealth ˹in fact˺ consume nothing but fire into their bellies. And they will be burned in a blazing Hell!

11. يُوْصِيْكُمُ اللّٰهُ فِيْٓ اَوْلَادِكُمْ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الْاُنْثَيَيْنِ ۚ فَاِنْ كُنَّ نِسَاۤءً فَوْقَ اثْنَتَيْنِ فَلَهُنَّ ثُلُثَا مَا تَرَكَ ۚ وَاِنْ كَانَتْ وَاحِدَةً فَلَهَا النِّصْفُ ۗ وَلِاَبَوَيْهِ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِّنْهُمَا السُّدُسُ مِمَّا تَرَكَ اِنْ كَانَ لَهٗ وَلَدٌ ۚ فَاِنْ لَّمْ يَكُنْ لَّهٗ وَلَدٌ وَّوَرِثَهٗٓ اَبَوٰهُ فَلِاُمِّهِ الثُّلُثُ ۚ فَاِنْ كَانَ لَهٗٓ اِخْوَةٌ فَلِاُمِّهِ السُّدُسُ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يُّوْصِيْ بِهَآ اَوْ دَيْنٍ ۗ اٰبَاۤؤُكُمْ وَاَبْنَاۤؤُكُمْۚ لَا تَدْرُوْنَ اَيُّهُمْ اَقْرَبُ لَكُمْ نَفْعًا ۗ فَرِيْضَةً مِّنَ اللّٰهِ ۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلِيْمًا حَكِيْمًا

    Yūṣīkumullāhu fī aulādikum liż-żakari miṡlu ḥaẓẓil-unṡayain(i), fa in kunna nisā'an fauqaṡnataini fa lahunna ṡuluṡā mā tarak(a), wa in kānat wāḥidatan fa lahan-niṣf(u), wa li abawaihi likulli wāḥidim minhumas-sudusu mimmā taraka in kāna lahū walad(un), fa illam yakul lahū waladuw wa wariṡahū abawāhu fa li'ummihiṡ-ṡuluṡ(u), fa in kāna lahū ikhwatun fa li'ummihis-sudusu mim ba‘di waṣiyyatiy yūṣī bihā au dain(in), ābā'ukum wa abnā'ukum, lā tadrūna ayyuhum aqrabu lakum naf‘ā(n), farīḍatam minallāh(i), innallāha kāna ‘alīman ḥakīmā(n).

    Allah commands you regarding your children: the share of the male will be twice that of the female. If you leave only two ˹or more˺ females, their share is two-thirds of the estate. But if there is only one female, her share will be one-half. Each parent is entitled to one-sixth if you leave offspring. But if you are childless and your parents are the only heirs, then your mother will receive one-third. But if you leave siblings, then your mother will receive one-sixth—after the fulfilment of bequests and debts. ˹Be fair to˺ your parents and children, as you do not ˹fully˺ know who is more beneficial to you. ˹This is˺ an obligation from Allah. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

12. ۞ وَلَكُمْ نِصْفُ مَا تَرَكَ اَزْوَاجُكُمْ اِنْ لَّمْ يَكُنْ لَّهُنَّ وَلَدٌ ۚ فَاِنْ كَانَ لَهُنَّ وَلَدٌ فَلَكُمُ الرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَكْنَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يُّوْصِيْنَ بِهَآ اَوْ دَيْنٍ ۗ وَلَهُنَّ الرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَكْتُمْ اِنْ لَّمْ يَكُنْ لَّكُمْ وَلَدٌ ۚ فَاِنْ كَانَ لَكُمْ وَلَدٌ فَلَهُنَّ الثُّمُنُ مِمَّا تَرَكْتُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٍ تُوْصُوْنَ بِهَآ اَوْ دَيْنٍ ۗ وَاِنْ كَانَ رَجُلٌ يُّوْرَثُ كَلٰلَةً اَوِ امْرَاَةٌ وَّلَهٗٓ اَخٌ اَوْ اُخْتٌ فَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِّنْهُمَا السُّدُسُۚ فَاِنْ كَانُوْٓا اَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذٰلِكَ فَهُمْ شُرَكَاۤءُ فِى الثُّلُثِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يُّوْصٰى بِهَآ اَوْ دَيْنٍۙ غَيْرَ مُضَاۤرٍّ ۚ وَصِيَّةً مِّنَ اللّٰهِ ۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيْمٌ حَلِيْمٌۗ

    Wa lakum niṣfu mā taraka azwājukum illam yakul lahunna walad(un), fa in kāna lahunna waladun fa lakumur-rubu‘u mimmā tarakna mim ba‘di waṣiyyatiy yūṣīna bihā au dain(in), wa lahunnar-rubu‘u mimmā taraktum illam yakul lakum walad(un), fa in kāna lakum waladun fa lahunnaṡ-ṡumunu mimmā taraktum mim ba‘di waṣiyyatiy tūṣūna bihā au dain(in), wa in kāna rajuluy yūraṡu kalālatan awimra'atuw wa lahū akhun au ukhtun fa likulli wāḥidatim minhumas-sudus(u), fa in kānū akṡara min żālika fa hum syurakā'u fiṡ-ṡuluṡi mim ba‘di waṣiyyatiy yūṣā bihā au dain(in), gaira muḍārr(in), waṣiyyatam minallāh(i), wallāhu ‘alīmun ḥalīm(un).

    You will inherit half of what your wives leave if they are childless. But if they have children, then ˹your share is˺ one-fourth of the estate—after the fulfilment of bequests and debts. And your wives will inherit one-fourth of what you leave if you are childless. But if you have children, then your wives will receive one-eighth of your estate—after the fulfilment of bequests and debts. And if a man or a woman leaves neither parents nor children but only a brother or a sister ˹from their mother’s side˺, they will each inherit one-sixth, but if they are more than one, they ˹all˺ will share one-third of the estate—after the fulfilment of bequests and debts without harm ˹to the heirs˺. ˹This is˺ a commandment from Allah. And Allah is All-Knowing, Most Forbearing.

13. تِلْكَ حُدُوْدُ اللّٰهِ ۗ وَمَنْ يُّطِعِ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ يُدْخِلْهُ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَا ۗ وَذٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيْمُ

    Tilka ḥudūdullāh(i), wa may yuṭi‘illāha wa rasūlahū yudkhilhu jannātin tajrī min taḥtihal-anhāru khālidīna fīhā, wa żālikal-fauzul-‘aẓīm(u).

    These ˹entitlements˺ are the limits set by Allah. Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger will be admitted into Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there forever. That is the ultimate triumph!

14. وَمَنْ يَّعْصِ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ وَيَتَعَدَّ حُدُوْدَهٗ يُدْخِلْهُ نَارًا خَالِدًا فِيْهَاۖ وَلَهٗ عَذَابٌ مُّهِيْنٌ ࣖ

    Wa may ya‘ṣillāha wa rasūlahū wa yata‘adda ḥudūdahū yudkhilhu nāran khālidan fīhā, wa lahū ‘ażābum muhīn(un).

    But whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger and exceeds their limits will be cast into Hell, to stay there forever. And they will suffer a humiliating punishment.

15. وَالّٰتِيْ يَأْتِيْنَ الْفَاحِشَةَ مِنْ نِّسَاۤىِٕكُمْ فَاسْتَشْهِدُوْا عَلَيْهِنَّ اَرْبَعَةً مِّنْكُمْ ۚ فَاِنْ شَهِدُوْا فَاَمْسِكُوْهُنَّ فِى الْبُيُوْتِ حَتّٰى يَتَوَفّٰىهُنَّ الْمَوْتُ اَوْ يَجْعَلَ اللّٰهُ لَهُنَّ سَبِيْلًا

    Wal-lātī ya'tīnal-fāḥisyata min nisā'ikum fastasyhidū ‘alaihinna arba‘atam minkum, fa in syahidū fa amsikūhunna fil-buyūti ḥattā yatawaffāhunnal-mautu au yaj‘alallāhu lahunna sabīlā(n).

    ˹As for˺ those of your women who commit illegal intercourse—call four witnesses from among yourselves. If they testify, confine the offenders to their homes until they die or Allah ordains a ˹different˺ way for them.

16. وَالَّذٰنِ يَأْتِيٰنِهَا مِنْكُمْ فَاٰذُوْهُمَا ۚ فَاِنْ تَابَا وَاَصْلَحَا فَاَعْرِضُوْا عَنْهُمَا ۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيْمًا

    Wal-lażāni ya'tiyānihā minkum fa āżūhumā, fa in tābā wa aṣlaḥā fa a‘riḍū ‘anhumā, innallāha kāna tawwābar raḥīmā(n).

    And the two among you who commit this sin—discipline them. If they repent and mend their ways, relieve them. Surely Allah is ever Accepting of Repentance, Most Merciful.

17. اِنَّمَا التَّوْبَةُ عَلَى اللّٰهِ لِلَّذِيْنَ يَعْمَلُوْنَ السُّوْۤءَ بِجَهَالَةٍ ثُمَّ يَتُوْبُوْنَ مِنْ قَرِيْبٍ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ يَتُوْبُ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِمْ ۗ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلِيْمًا حَكِيْمًا

    Innamat-taubatu ‘alallāhi lil-lażīna ya‘malūnas-sū'a bijahālatin ṡumma yatūbūna min qarībin fa ulā'ika yatūbullāhu ‘alaihim, wa kānallāhu ‘alīman ḥakīmā(n).

    Allah only accepts the repentance of those who commit evil ignorantly ˹or recklessly˺ then repent soon after—Allah will pardon them. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

18. وَلَيْسَتِ التَّوْبَةُ لِلَّذِيْنَ يَعْمَلُوْنَ السَّيِّاٰتِۚ حَتّٰىٓ اِذَا حَضَرَ اَحَدَهُمُ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ اِنِّيْ تُبْتُ الْـٰٔنَ وَلَا الَّذِيْنَ يَمُوْتُوْنَ وَهُمْ كُفَّارٌ ۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ اَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابًا اَلِيْمًا

    Wa laisatit-taubatu lil-lażīna ya‘malūnas-sayyi'āt(i), ḥattā iżā ḥaḍara aḥadahumul-mautu qāla innī tubtul-āna wa lal-lażīna yamūtūna wa hum kuffār(un), ulā'ika a‘tadnā lahum ‘ażāban alīmā(n).

    However, repentance is not accepted from those who knowingly persist in sin until they start dying, and then say, “Now I repent!” nor those who die as disbelievers. For them We have prepared a painful punishment.

19. يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ اَنْ تَرِثُوا النِّسَاۤءَ كَرْهًا ۗ وَلَا تَعْضُلُوْهُنَّ لِتَذْهَبُوْا بِبَعْضِ مَآ اٰتَيْتُمُوْهُنَّ اِلَّآ اَنْ يَّأْتِيْنَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُّبَيِّنَةٍ ۚ وَعَاشِرُوْهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ ۚ فَاِنْ كَرِهْتُمُوْهُنَّ فَعَسٰٓى اَنْ تَكْرَهُوْا شَيْـًٔا وَّيَجْعَلَ اللّٰهُ فِيْهِ خَيْرًا كَثِيْرًا

    Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū lā yaḥillu lakum an tariṡun-nisā'a karhā(n), wa lā ta‘ḍulūhunna litażhabū biba‘ḍi mā ātaitumūhunna illā ay ya'tīna bifāḥisyatim mubayyinah(tin), wa ‘āsyirūhunna bil-ma‘rūf(i), fa in karihtumūhunna fa ‘asā an takrahū syai'aw wa yaj‘alallāhu fīhi khairan kaṡīrā(n).

    O believers! It is not permissible for you to inherit women against their will or mistreat them to make them return some of the dowry ˹as a ransom for divorce˺—unless they are found guilty of adultery. Treat them fairly. If you happen to dislike them, you may hate something which Allah turns into a great blessing.

20. وَاِنْ اَرَدْتُّمُ اسْتِبْدَالَ زَوْجٍ مَّكَانَ زَوْجٍۙ وَّاٰتَيْتُمْ اِحْدٰىهُنَّ قِنْطَارًا فَلَا تَأْخُذُوْا مِنْهُ شَيْـًٔا ۗ اَتَأْخُذُوْنَهٗ بُهْتَانًا وَّاِثْمًا مُّبِيْنًا

    Wa in arattumustibdāla zaujim makāna zauj(in), wa ātaitum iḥdāhunna qinṭāran falā ta'khużū minhu syai'ā(n), ata'khużūnahū buhtānaw wa iṡmam mubīnā(n).

    If you desire to replace a wife with another and you have given the former ˹even˺ a stack of gold ˹as a dowry˺, do not take any of it back. Would you ˹still˺ take it unjustly and very sinfully?

21. وَكَيْفَ تَأْخُذُوْنَهٗ وَقَدْ اَفْضٰى بَعْضُكُمْ اِلٰى بَعْضٍ وَّاَخَذْنَ مِنْكُمْ مِّيْثَاقًا غَلِيْظًا

    Wa kaifa ta'khużūnahū wa qad afḍā ba‘ḍukum ilā ba‘ḍiw wa akhażna minkum mīṡāqan galīẓā(n).

    And how could you take it back after having enjoyed each other intimately and she has taken from you a firm commitment?

22. وَلَا تَنْكِحُوْا مَا نَكَحَ اٰبَاۤؤُكُمْ مِّنَ النِّسَاۤءِ اِلَّا مَا قَدْ سَلَفَ ۗ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ فَاحِشَةً وَّمَقْتًاۗ وَسَاۤءَ سَبِيْلًا ࣖ

    Wa lā tankiḥū mā nakaḥa ābā'ukum minan-nisā'i illā mā qad salaf(a), innahū kāna fāḥisyataw wa maqtā(n), wa sā'a sabīlā(n).

    Do not marry former wives of your fathers—except what was done previously. It was indeed a shameful, despicable, and evil practice.

23. حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ اُمَّهٰتُكُمْ وَبَنٰتُكُمْ وَاَخَوٰتُكُمْ وَعَمّٰتُكُمْ وَخٰلٰتُكُمْ وَبَنٰتُ الْاَخِ وَبَنٰتُ الْاُخْتِ وَاُمَّهٰتُكُمُ الّٰتِيْٓ اَرْضَعْنَكُمْ وَاَخَوٰتُكُمْ مِّنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ وَاُمَّهٰتُ نِسَاۤىِٕكُمْ وَرَبَاۤىِٕبُكُمُ الّٰتِيْ فِيْ حُجُوْرِكُمْ مِّنْ نِّسَاۤىِٕكُمُ الّٰتِيْ دَخَلْتُمْ بِهِنَّۖ فَاِنْ لَّمْ تَكُوْنُوْا دَخَلْتُمْ بِهِنَّ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ وَحَلَاۤىِٕلُ اَبْنَاۤىِٕكُمُ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ اَصْلَابِكُمْۙ وَاَنْ تَجْمَعُوْا بَيْنَ الْاُخْتَيْنِ اِلَّا مَا قَدْ سَلَفَ ۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِيْمًا ۔

    Ḥurrimat ‘alaikum ummahātukum wa banātukum wa akhawātukum wa ‘ammātukum wa khālātukum wa banātul-akhi wa banātul-ukhti wa ummahātukumul-lātī arḍa‘nakum wa akhawātukum minar-raḍā‘ati wa ummahātu nisā'ikum wa rabā'ibukumul-lātī fī ḥujūrikum min nisā'ikumul-lātī dakhaltum bihinn(a), fa illam takūnū dakhaltum bihinna falā junāḥa ‘alaikum, wa ḥalā'ilu abnā'ikumul-lażīna min aṣlābikum, wa an tajma‘ū bainal-ukhtaini illā mā qad salaf(a), innallāha kāna gafūrar raḥīmā(n).

    ˹Also˺ forbidden to you for marriage are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your paternal and maternal aunts, your brother’s daughters, your sister’s daughters, your foster-mothers, your foster-sisters, your mothers-in-law, your stepdaughters under your guardianship if you have consummated marriage with their mothers—but if you have not, then you can marry them—nor the wives of your own sons, nor two sisters together at the same time—except what was done previously. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

24. ۞ وَالْمُحْصَنٰتُ مِنَ النِّسَاۤءِ اِلَّا مَا مَلَكَتْ اَيْمَانُكُمْ ۚ كِتٰبَ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْكُمْ ۚ وَاُحِلَّ لَكُمْ مَّا وَرَاۤءَ ذٰلِكُمْ اَنْ تَبْتَغُوْا بِاَمْوَالِكُمْ مُّحْصِنِيْنَ غَيْرَ مُسٰفِحِيْنَ ۗ فَمَا اسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِهٖ مِنْهُنَّ فَاٰتُوْهُنَّ اُجُوْرَهُنَّ فَرِيْضَةً ۗوَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِيْمَا تَرَاضَيْتُمْ بِهٖ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ الْفَرِيْضَةِۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلِيْمًا حَكِيْمًا

    Wal-muḥṣanātu minan-nisā'i illā mā malakat aimānukum, kitāballāhi ‘alaikum, wa uḥilla lakum mā warā'a żālikum an tabtagū bi'amwālikum muḥṣinīna gaira musāfiḥīn(a), famastamta‘tum bihī minhunna fa ātūhunna ujūrahunna farīḍah(tan), wa lā junāḥa ‘alaikum fīmā tarāḍaitum bihī mim ba‘dil-farīḍah(ti), innallāha kāna ‘alīman ḥakīmā(n).

    Also ˹forbidden are˺ married women—except ˹female˺ captives in your possession. This is Allah’s commandment to you. Lawful to you are all beyond these—as long as you seek them with your wealth in a legal marriage, not in fornication. Give those you have consummated marriage with their due dowries. It is permissible to be mutually gracious regarding the set dowry. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

25. وَمَنْ لَّمْ يَسْتَطِعْ مِنْكُمْ طَوْلًا اَنْ يَّنْكِحَ الْمُحْصَنٰتِ الْمُؤْمِنٰتِ فَمِنْ مَّا مَلَكَتْ اَيْمَانُكُمْ مِّنْ فَتَيٰتِكُمُ الْمُؤْمِنٰتِۗ وَاللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِاِيْمَانِكُمْ ۗ بَعْضُكُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْضٍۚ فَانْكِحُوْهُنَّ بِاِذْنِ اَهْلِهِنَّ وَاٰتُوْهُنَّ اُجُوْرَهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ مُحْصَنٰتٍ غَيْرَ مُسٰفِحٰتٍ وَّلَا مُتَّخِذٰتِ اَخْدَانٍ ۚ فَاِذَآ اُحْصِنَّ فَاِنْ اَتَيْنَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ فَعَلَيْهِنَّ نِصْفُ مَا عَلَى الْمُحْصَنٰتِ مِنَ الْعَذَابِۗ ذٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِيَ الْعَنَتَ مِنْكُمْ ۗ وَاَنْ تَصْبِرُوْا خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ ۗ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ ࣖ

    Wa mal lam yastaṭi‘ minkum ṭaulan ay yankiḥal-muḥṣanātil-mu'mināti fa mim mā malakat aimānukum min fatayātikumul-mu'mināt(i), wallāhu a‘lamu bi'īmānikum, ba‘ḍukum mim ba‘ḍ(in), fankiḥūhunna bi'iżni ahlihinna wa ātūhunna ujūrahunna bil-ma‘rūfi muḥṣanātin gaira musāfiḥātiw wa lā muttakhiżāti akhdān(in), fa iżā uḥṣinna fa in ataina bifāḥisyatin fa ‘alaihinna niṣfu mā ‘alal-muḥṣanāti minal-‘ażāb(i), żālika limay khasyial-‘anata minkum, wa an taṣbirū khairul lakum, wallāhu gafūrur raḥīm(un).

    But if any of you cannot afford to marry a free believing woman, then ˹let him marry˺ a believing bondwoman possessed by one of you. Allah knows best ˹the state of˺ your faith ˹and theirs˺. You are from one another. So marry them with the permission of their owners, giving them their dowry in fairness, if they are chaste, neither promiscuous nor having secret affairs. If they commit indecency after marriage, they receive half the punishment of free women. This is for those of you who fear falling into sin. But if you are patient, it is better for you. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

26. يُرِيْدُ اللّٰهُ لِيُبَيِّنَ لَكُمْ وَيَهْدِيَكُمْ سُنَنَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ وَيَتُوْبَ عَلَيْكُمْ ۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيْمٌ حَكِيْمٌ

    Yurīdullāhu liyubayyina lakum wa yahdiyakum sunanal-lażīna min qablikum wa yatūba ‘alaikum, wallāhu ‘alīmun ḥakīm(un).

    It is Allah’s Will to make things clear to you, guide you to the ˹noble˺ ways of those before you, and turn to you in mercy. For Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

27. وَاللّٰهُ يُرِيْدُ اَنْ يَّتُوْبَ عَلَيْكُمْ ۗ وَيُرِيْدُ الَّذِيْنَ يَتَّبِعُوْنَ الشَّهَوٰتِ اَنْ تَمِيْلُوْا مَيْلًا عَظِيْمًا

    Wallāhu yurīdu ay yatūba ‘alaikum, wa yurīdul-lażīna yattabi‘ūnasy-syahawāti an tamīlū mailan ‘aẓīmā(n).

    And it is Allah’s Will to turn to you in grace, but those who follow their desires wish to see you deviate entirely ˹from Allah’s Way˺.

28. يُرِيْدُ اللّٰهُ اَنْ يُّخَفِّفَ عَنْكُمْ ۚ وَخُلِقَ الْاِنْسَانُ ضَعِيْفًا

    Yurīdullāhu ay yukhaffifa ‘ankum, wa khuliqal-insānu ḍa‘īfā(n).

    And it is Allah’s Will to lighten your burdens, for humankind was created weak.

29. يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَأْكُلُوْٓا اَمْوَالَكُمْ بَيْنَكُمْ بِالْبَاطِلِ اِلَّآ اَنْ تَكُوْنَ تِجَارَةً عَنْ تَرَاضٍ مِّنْكُمْ ۗ وَلَا تَقْتُلُوْٓا اَنْفُسَكُمْ ۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيْمًا

    Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū lā ta'kulū amwālakum bainakum bil-bāṭili illā an takūna tijāratan ‘an tarāḍim minkum, wa lā taqtulū anfusakum, innallāha kāna bikum raḥīmā(n).

    O believers! Do not devour one another’s wealth illegally, but rather trade by mutual consent. And do not kill ˹each other or˺ yourselves. Surely Allah is ever Merciful to you.

30. وَمَنْ يَّفْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ عُدْوَانًا وَّظُلْمًا فَسَوْفَ نُصْلِيْهِ نَارًا ۗوَكَانَ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ يَسِيْرًا

    Wa may yaf‘al żālika ‘udwānaw wa ẓulman fa saufa nuṣlīhi nārā(n), wa kāna żālika ‘alallāhi yasīrā(n).

    And whoever does this sinfully and unjustly, We will burn them in the Fire. That is easy for Allah.

31. اِنْ تَجْتَنِبُوْا كَبَاۤىِٕرَ مَا تُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ نُكَفِّرْ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّاٰتِكُمْ وَنُدْخِلْكُمْ مُّدْخَلًا كَرِيْمًا

    In tajtanibū kabā'ira mā tunhauna ‘anhu nukaffir ‘ankum sayyi'ātikum wa nudkhilkum mudkhalan karīmā(n).

    If you avoid the major sins forbidden to you, We will absolve you of your ˹lesser˺ misdeeds and admit you into a place of honour.

32. وَلَا تَتَمَنَّوْا مَا فَضَّلَ اللّٰهُ بِهٖ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍ ۗ لِلرِّجَالِ نَصِيْبٌ مِّمَّا اكْتَسَبُوْا ۗ وَلِلنِّسَاۤءِ نَصِيْبٌ مِّمَّا اكْتَسَبْنَ ۗوَسْـَٔلُوا اللّٰهَ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ ۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمًا

    Wa lā tatamannau mā faḍḍalallāhu bihī ba‘ḍakum ‘alā ba‘ḍ(in), lir-rijāli naṣībum mimmaktasabū, wa lin-nisā'i naṣībum mimmaktasabn(a), was'alullāha min faḍlih(ī), innallāha kāna bikulli syai'in ‘alīmā(n).

    And do not crave what Allah has given some of you over others. Men will be rewarded according to their deeds and women ˹equally˺ according to theirs. Rather, ask Allah for His bounties. Surely Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.

33. وَلِكُلٍّ جَعَلْنَا مَوَالِيَ مِمَّا تَرَكَ الْوَالِدٰنِ وَالْاَقْرَبُوْنَ ۗ وَالَّذِيْنَ عَقَدَتْ اَيْمَانُكُمْ فَاٰتُوْهُمْ نَصِيْبَهُمْ ۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيْدًا ࣖ

    Wa likullin ja‘alnā mawāliya mimmā tarakal-wālidāni wal-aqrabūn(a), wal-lażīna ‘aqadat aimānukum fa ātūhum naṣībahum, innallāha kāna ‘alā kulli syai'in syahīdā(n).

    And We have appointed heirs to what has been left by parents and next of kin. As for those you have made a pledge to, give them their share. Surely Allah is a Witness over all things.

34. اَلرِّجَالُ قَوَّامُوْنَ عَلَى النِّسَاۤءِ بِمَا فَضَّلَ اللّٰهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍ وَّبِمَآ اَنْفَقُوْا مِنْ اَمْوَالِهِمْ ۗ فَالصّٰلِحٰتُ قٰنِتٰتٌ حٰفِظٰتٌ لِّلْغَيْبِ بِمَا حَفِظَ اللّٰهُ ۗوَالّٰتِيْ تَخَافُوْنَ نُشُوْزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوْهُنَّ وَاهْجُرُوْهُنَّ فِى الْمَضَاجِعِ وَاضْرِبُوْهُنَّ ۚ فَاِنْ اَطَعْنَكُمْ فَلَا تَبْغُوْا عَلَيْهِنَّ سَبِيْلًا ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلِيًّا كَبِيْرًا

    Ar-rijālu qawwāmūna ‘alan-nisā'i bimā faḍḍalallāhu ba‘ḍahum ‘alā ba‘ḍiw wa bimā anfaqū min amwālihim, faṣ-ṣāliḥātu qānitātun ḥāfiẓātul lil-gaibi bimā ḥafiẓallāh(u), wal-lātī takhāfūna nusyūzahunna fa ‘iẓūhunna wahjurūhunna fil-maḍāji‘i waḍribūhunn(a), fa in aṭa‘nakum falā tabgū ‘alaihinna sabīlā(n), innallāha kāna ‘aliyyan kabīrā(n).

    Men are the caretakers of women, as men have been provisioned by Allah over women and tasked with supporting them financially. And righteous women are devoutly obedient and, when alone, protective of what Allah has entrusted them with. And if you sense ill-conduct from your women, advise them ˹first˺, ˹if they persist,˺ do not share their beds, ˹but if they still persist,˺ then discipline them ˹gently˺. But if they change their ways, do not be unjust to them. Surely Allah is Most High, All-Great.

35. وَاِنْ خِفْتُمْ شِقَاقَ بَيْنِهِمَا فَابْعَثُوْا حَكَمًا مِّنْ اَهْلِهٖ وَحَكَمًا مِّنْ اَهْلِهَا ۚ اِنْ يُّرِيْدَآ اِصْلَاحًا يُّوَفِّقِ اللّٰهُ بَيْنَهُمَا ۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلِيْمًا خَبِيْرًا

    Wa in khiftum syiqāqa bainihimā fab‘aṡū ḥakamam min ahlihī wa ḥakamam min ahlihā, iy yurīdā iṣlāḥay yuwaffiqillāhu bainahumā, innallāha kāna ‘alīman khabīrā(n).

    If you anticipate a split between them, appoint a mediator from his family and another from hers. If they desire reconciliation, Allah will restore harmony between them. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware.

36. ۞ وَاعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوْا بِهٖ شَيْـًٔا وَّبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ اِحْسَانًا وَّبِذِى الْقُرْبٰى وَالْيَتٰمٰى وَالْمَسٰكِيْنِ وَالْجَارِ ذِى الْقُرْبٰى وَالْجَارِ الْجُنُبِ وَالصَّاحِبِ بِالْجَنْۢبِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيْلِۙ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ اَيْمَانُكُمْ ۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُحِبُّ مَنْ كَانَ مُخْتَالًا فَخُوْرًاۙ

    Wa‘budullāha wa lā tusyrikū bihī syai'aw wa bil-wālidaini iḥsānaw wa biżil-qurbā wal-yatāmā wal-masākīni wal-jāri żil-qurbā wal-jāril-junubi waṣ-ṣāḥibi bil-jambi wabnis-sabīl(i), wa mā malakat aimānukum, innallāha lā yuḥibbu man kāna mukhtālan fakhūrā(n).

    Worship Allah ˹alone˺ and associate none with Him. And be kind to parents, relatives, orphans, the poor, near and distant neighbours, close friends, ˹needy˺ travellers, and those ˹bondspeople˺ in your possession. Surely Allah does not like whoever is arrogant, boastful—

37. ۨالَّذِيْنَ يَبْخَلُوْنَ وَيَأْمُرُوْنَ النَّاسَ بِالْبُخْلِ وَيَكْتُمُوْنَ مَآ اٰتٰىهُمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖۗ وَاَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكٰفِرِيْنَ عَذَابًا مُّهِيْنًاۚ

    Al-lażīna yabkhalūna wa ya'murūnan-nāsa bil-bukhli wa yaktumūna mā ātāhumullāhu min faḍlih(ī), wa a‘tadnā lil-kāfirīna ‘ażābam muhīnā(n).

    those who are stingy, promote stinginess among people, and withhold Allah’s bounties. We have prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment.

38. وَالَّذِيْنَ يُنْفِقُوْنَ اَمْوَالَهُمْ رِئَاۤءَ النَّاسِ وَلَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَلَا بِالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ ۗ وَمَنْ يَّكُنِ الشَّيْطٰنُ لَهٗ قَرِيْنًا فَسَاۤءَ قَرِيْنًا

    Wal-lażīna yunfiqūna amwālahum ri'ā'an-nasi wa lā yu'minūna billāhi wa lā bil-yaumil ākhir(i), wa may yakunisy-syaiṭānu lahū qarīnan fasā'a qarīnā(n).

    Likewise for those who spend their wealth to show off and do not believe in Allah or the Last Day. And whoever takes Satan as an associate—what an evil associate they have!

39. وَمَاذَا عَلَيْهِمْ لَوْ اٰمَنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَاَنْفَقُوْا مِمَّا رَزَقَهُمُ اللّٰهُ ۗوَكَانَ اللّٰهُ بِهِمْ عَلِيْمًا

    Wa māżā ‘alaihim lau āmanū billāhi wal-yaumil-ākhiri wa anfaqū mimmā razaqahumullāh(u), wa kānallāhu bihim ‘alīmā(n).

    What harm could have come to them if they had believed in Allah and the Last Day and donated from what Allah has provided for them? And Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of them.

40. اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ ۚوَاِنْ تَكُ حَسَنَةً يُّضٰعِفْهَا وَيُؤْتِ مِنْ لَّدُنْهُ اَجْرًا عَظِيْمًا

    Innallāha lā yaẓlimu miṡqāla żarrah(tin), wa in taku ḥasanatay yuḍā‘ifhā wa yu'ti mil ladunhu ajran ‘aẓīmā(n).

    Indeed, Allah never wrongs ˹anyone˺—even by an atom’s weight. And if it is a good deed, He will multiply it many times over and will give a great reward out of His grace.

41. فَكَيْفَ اِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ اُمَّةٍۢ بِشَهِيْدٍ وَّجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلٰى هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ شَهِيْدًاۗ

    Fa kaifa iżā ji'nā min kulli ummatim bisyahīdiw wa ji'nā bika ‘alā hā'ulā'i syahīdā(n).

    So how will it be when We bring a witness from every faith-community and bring you ˹O Prophet˺ as a witness against yours?

42. يَوْمَىِٕذٍ يَّوَدُّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَعَصَوُا الرَّسُوْلَ لَوْ تُسَوّٰى بِهِمُ الْاَرْضُۗ وَلَا يَكْتُمُوْنَ اللّٰهَ حَدِيْثًا ࣖ

    Yauma'iżiy yawaddul-lażīna kafarū wa ‘aṣawur-rasūla lau tusawwā bihimul-arḍ(u), wa lā yaktumūnallāha ḥadīṡā(n).

    On that Day, those who denied ˹Allah˺ and disobeyed the Messenger will wish they were reduced to dust. And they will never be able to hide anything from Allah.

43. يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَقْرَبُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاَنْتُمْ سُكٰرٰى حَتّٰى تَعْلَمُوْا مَا تَقُوْلُوْنَ وَلَا جُنُبًا اِلَّا عَابِرِيْ سَبِيْلٍ حَتّٰى تَغْتَسِلُوْا ۗوَاِنْ كُنْتُمْ مَّرْضٰٓى اَوْ عَلٰى سَفَرٍ اَوْ جَاۤءَ اَحَدٌ مِّنْكُمْ مِّنَ الْغَاۤىِٕطِ اَوْ لٰمَسْتُمُ النِّسَاۤءَ فَلَمْ تَجِدُوْا مَاۤءً فَتَيَمَّمُوْا صَعِيْدًا طَيِّبًا فَامْسَحُوْا بِوُجُوْهِكُمْ وَاَيْدِيْكُمْ ۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَفُوًّا غَفُوْرًا

    Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū lā taqrabuṣ-ṣalāta wa antum sukārā ḥattā ta‘lamū mā taqūlūna wa lā junuban illā ‘ābirī sabīlin ḥattā tagtasilū, wa in kuntum marḍā au ‘alā safarin au jā'a aḥadum minkum minal-gā'iṭi au lāmastumun-nisā'a falam tajidū mā'an fa tayammamū ṣa‘īdan ṭayyiban famsaḥū biwujūhikum wa aidīkum, innnallāha kāna ‘afuwwan gafūrā(n).

    O believers! Do not approach prayer while intoxicated until you are aware of what you say, nor in a state of ˹full˺ impurity—unless you merely pass through ˹the mosque˺—until you have bathed. But if you are ill, on a journey, or have relieved yourselves, or been intimate with your wives and cannot find water, then purify yourselves with clean earth, wiping your faces and hands. And Allah is Ever-Pardoning, All-Forgiving.

44. اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوْا نَصِيْبًا مِّنَ الْكِتٰبِ يَشْتَرُوْنَ الضَّلٰلَةَ وَيُرِيْدُوْنَ اَنْ تَضِلُّوا السَّبِيْلَۗ

    Alam tara ilal-lażīna ūtū naṣībam minal-kitābi yasytarūnaḍ-ḍalālata wa yurīdūna an taḍillus-sabīl(a).

    Have you ˹O Prophet˺ not seen those who were given a portion of the Scriptures yet trade it for misguidance and wish to see you deviate from the ˹Right˺ Path?

45. وَاللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِاَعْدَاۤىِٕكُمْ ۗوَكَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ وَلِيًّا ۙوَّكَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ نَصِيْرًا

    Wallāhu a‘lamu bi'a‘dā'ikum, wa kafā billāhi waliyyaw wa kafā billāhi naṣīrā(n).

    Allah knows best who your enemies are! And Allah is sufficient as a Guardian, and He is sufficient as a Helper.

46. مِنَ الَّذِيْنَ هَادُوْا يُحَرِّفُوْنَ الْكَلِمَ عَنْ مَّوَاضِعِهٖ وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ سَمِعْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا وَاسْمَعْ غَيْرَ مُسْمَعٍ وَّرَاعِنَا لَيًّاۢ بِاَلْسِنَتِهِمْ وَطَعْنًا فِى الدِّيْنِۗ وَلَوْ اَنَّهُمْ قَالُوْا سَمِعْنَا وَاَطَعْنَا وَاسْمَعْ وَانْظُرْنَا لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَّهُمْ وَاَقْوَمَۙ وَلٰكِنْ لَّعَنَهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَلَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا

    Minal-lażīna hādū yuḥarrifūnal-kalima ‘am mawāḍi‘ihī wa yaqūlūna sami‘nā wa ‘aṣainā wasma‘ gaira musmi‘iw wa rā‘inā layyam bi'alsinatihim wa ṭa‘nan fid-dīn(i), wa lau annahum qālū sami‘nā wa aṭa‘nā wasma‘ wanẓurnā lakāna khairal lahum wa aqwam(a), wa lākil la‘anahumullāhu bikufrihim falā yu'minūna illā qalīlā(n).

    Some Jews take words out of context and say, “We listen and we disobey,” “Hear! May you never hear,” and “Râ’ina!”—playing with words and discrediting the faith. Had they said ˹courteously˺, “We hear and obey,” “Listen to us,” and “Unẓurna,” it would have been better for them and more proper. Allah has condemned them for their disbelief, so they do not believe except for a few.

47. يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوا الْكِتٰبَ اٰمِنُوْا بِمَا نَزَّلْنَا مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا مَعَكُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ نَّطْمِسَ وُجُوْهًا فَنَرُدَّهَا عَلٰٓى اَدْبَارِهَآ اَوْ نَلْعَنَهُمْ كَمَا لَعَنَّآ اَصْحٰبَ السَّبْتِ ۗ وَكَانَ اَمْرُ اللّٰهِ مَفْعُوْلًا

    Yā ayyuhal-lażīna ūtul-kitāba āminū bimā nazzalnā muṣaddiqal limā ma‘akum min qabli an naṭmisa wujūhan fa naruddahā ‘alā adbārihā au nal‘anahum kamā la‘annā aṣḥābas-sabt(i), wa kāna amrullāhi maf‘ūlā(n).

    O you who were given the Book! Believe in what We have revealed—confirming your own Scriptures—before We wipe out ˹your˺ faces, turning them backwards, or We condemn the defiant as We did to the Sabbath-breakers. And Allah’s command is always executed!

48. اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ اَنْ يُّشْرَكَ بِهٖ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُوْنَ ذٰلِكَ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ ۚ وَمَنْ يُّشْرِكْ بِاللّٰهِ فَقَدِ افْتَرٰٓى اِثْمًا عَظِيْمًا

    Innallāha lā yagfiru ay yusyraka bihī wa yagfiru mā dūna żālika limay yasyā'(u), wa may yusyrik billāhi fa qadiftarā iṡman ‘aẓīmā(n).

    Indeed, Allah does not forgive associating others with Him ˹in worship˺, but forgives anything else of whoever He wills. And whoever associates others with Allah has indeed committed a grave sin.

49. اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِيْنَ يُزَكُّوْنَ اَنْفُسَهُمْ ۗ بَلِ اللّٰهُ يُزَكِّيْ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ وَلَا يُظْلَمُوْنَ فَتِيْلًا

    Alam tara ilal-lażīna yuzakkūna anfusahum, balillāhu yuzakkī may yasyā'u wa lā yuẓlamūna fatīlā(n).

    Have you ˹O Prophet˺ not seen those who ˹falsely˺ elevate themselves? It is Allah who elevates whoever He wills. And none will be wronged ˹even by the width of˺ the thread of a date stone.

50. اُنْظُرْ كَيْفَ يَفْتَرُوْنَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ الْكَذِبَۗ وَكَفٰى بِهٖٓ اِثْمًا مُّبِيْنًا ࣖ

    Unẓur kaifa yaftarūna ‘alallāhil-każib(a), wa kafā bihī iṡmam mubīnā(n).

    See how they fabricate lies against Allah—this alone is a blatant sin.

51. اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوْا نَصِيْبًا مِّنَ الْكِتٰبِ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْجِبْتِ وَالطَّاغُوْتِ وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ لِلَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ اَهْدٰى مِنَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا سَبِيْلًا

    Alam tara ilal-lażīna ūtū naṣībam minal-kitābi yu'minūna bil-jibti waṭ-ṭāgūti wa yaqūlūna lil-lażīna kafarū hā'ulā'i ahdā minal-lażīna āmanū sabīlā(n).

    Have you ˹O Prophet˺ not seen those who were given a portion of the Scriptures yet believe in idols and false gods and reassure the disbelievers that they are better guided than the believers?

52. اُولٰۤىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ لَعَنَهُمُ اللّٰهُ ۗوَمَنْ يَّلْعَنِ اللّٰهُ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهٗ نَصِيْرًا

    Ulā'ikal-lażīna la‘anahumullāh(u), wa may yal‘anillāhu falan tajida lahū naṣīrā(n).

    It is they who have been condemned by Allah. And whoever is condemned by Allah will have no helper.

53. اَمْ لَهُمْ نَصِيْبٌ مِّنَ الْمُلْكِ فَاِذًا لَّا يُؤْتُوْنَ النَّاسَ نَقِيْرًاۙ

    Am lahum naṣībum minal-mulki fa iżal lā yu'tūnan-nāsa naqīrā(n).

    Do they have control over shares of the kingdom? If so, they would not have given anyone so much as the speck on a date stone.

54. اَمْ يَحْسُدُوْنَ النَّاسَ عَلٰى مَآ اٰتٰىهُمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖۚ فَقَدْ اٰتَيْنَآ اٰلَ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ الْكِتٰبَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَاٰتَيْنٰهُمْ مُّلْكًا عَظِيْمًا

    Am yaḥsudūnan-nāsa ‘alā mā ātāhumullāhu min faḍlih(ī), faqad ātainā āla ibrāhīmal-kitāba wal-ḥikmata wa ātaināhum mulkan ‘aẓīmā(n).

    Or do they envy the people for Allah’s bounties? Indeed, We have given the descendants of Abraham the Book and wisdom, along with great authority.

55. فَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ اٰمَنَ بِهٖ وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ صَدَّ عَنْهُ ۗ وَكَفٰى بِجَهَنَّمَ سَعِيْرًا

    Fa minhum man āmana bihī wa minhum man ṣadda ‘anh(u), wa kafā bijahannama sa‘īrā(n).

    Yet some believed in him while others turned away from him. Hell is sufficient as a torment!

56. اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا سَوْفَ نُصْلِيْهِمْ نَارًاۗ كُلَّمَا نَضِجَتْ جُلُوْدُهُمْ بَدَّلْنٰهُمْ جُلُوْدًا غَيْرَهَا لِيَذُوْقُوا الْعَذَابَۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَزِيْزًا حَكِيْمًا

    Innal-lażīna kafarū bi'āyātinā sanuṣlīhim nārā(n), kullamā naḍijat julūduhum baddalnāhum julūdan gairahā liyażūqul-‘ażāb(a), innallāha kāna ‘azīzan ḥakīmā(n).

    Surely those who reject Our signs, We will cast them into the Fire. Whenever their skin is burnt completely, We will replace it so they will ˹constantly˺ taste the punishment. Indeed, Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.

57. وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ سَنُدْخِلُهُمْ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَآ اَبَدًاۗ لَهُمْ فِيْهَآ اَزْوَاجٌ مُّطَهَّرَةٌ ۙ وَّنُدْخِلُهُمْ ظِلًّا ظَلِيْلًا

    Wal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti sanudkhiluhum jannātin tajrī min taḥtihal-anhāru khālidīna fīhā abadā(n), lahum fīhā azwājum muṭahharah(tun), wa nudkhiluhum ẓillan ẓalīlā(n).

    As for those who believe and do good, We will admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there for ever and ever. There they will have pure spouses, and We will place them under a vast shade.

58. ۞ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ اَنْ تُؤَدُّوا الْاَمٰنٰتِ اِلٰٓى اَهْلِهَاۙ وَاِذَا حَكَمْتُمْ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ اَنْ تَحْكُمُوْا بِالْعَدْلِ ۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ نِعِمَّا يَعِظُكُمْ بِهٖ ۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ سَمِيْعًاۢ بَصِيْرًا

    Innallāha ya'murukum an tu'addul-amānāti ilā ahlihā, wa iżā ḥakamtum bainan-nāsi an taḥkumū bil-‘adl(i), innallāha ni‘immā ya‘iẓukum bih(ī), innallāha kāna samī‘am baṣīrā(n).

    Indeed, Allah commands you to return trusts to their rightful owners; and when you judge between people, judge with fairness. What a noble commandment from Allah to you! Surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

59. يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اَطِيْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِيْعُوا الرَّسُوْلَ وَاُولِى الْاَمْرِ مِنْكُمْۚ فَاِنْ تَنَازَعْتُمْ فِيْ شَيْءٍ فَرُدُّوْهُ اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَالرَّسُوْلِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِۗ ذٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَّاَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيْلًا ࣖ

    Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū aṭī‘ullāha wa aṭī‘ur-rasūla wa ulil-amri minkum, fa in tanāza‘tum fī syai'in fa rudd­hu ilallāhi war-rasūli in kuntum tu'minūna billāhi wal-yaumil-ākhir(i), żālika khairuw wa aḥsanu ta'wīlā(n).

    O believers! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. Should you disagree on anything, then refer it to Allah and His Messenger, if you ˹truly˺ believe in Allah and the Last Day. This is the best and fairest resolution.

60. اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِيْنَ يَزْعُمُوْنَ اَنَّهُمْ اٰمَنُوْا بِمَآ اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكَ وَمَآ اُنْزِلَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ يُرِيْدُوْنَ اَنْ يَّتَحَاكَمُوْٓا اِلَى الطَّاغُوْتِ وَقَدْ اُمِرُوْٓا اَنْ يَّكْفُرُوْا بِهٖ ۗوَيُرِيْدُ الشَّيْطٰنُ اَنْ يُّضِلَّهُمْ ضَلٰلًا ۢ بَعِيْدًا

    Alam tara ilal-lażīna yaz‘umūna annahum āmanū bimā unzila ilaika wa mā unzila min qablika yurīdūna ay yataḥākamū ilaṭ-ṭāgūti wa qad umirū ay yakfurū bih(ī), wa yurīdusy-syaiṭānu ay yuḍillahum ḍalālam ba‘īdā(n).

    Have you ˹O Prophet˺ not seen those who claim they believe in what has been revealed to you and what was revealed before you? They seek the judgment of false judges, which they were commanded to reject. And Satan ˹only˺ desires to lead them farther away.

61. وَاِذَا قِيْلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا اِلٰى مَآ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ وَاِلَى الرَّسُوْلِ رَاَيْتَ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ يَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْكَ صُدُوْدًاۚ

    Wa iżā qīla lahum ta‘ālau ilā mā anzalallāhu wa ilar-rasūli ra'aital-munāfiqīna yaṣuddūna ‘anka ṣudūdā(n).

    When it is said to them, “Come to Allah’s revelations and to the Messenger,” you see the hypocrites turn away from you stubbornly.

62. فَكَيْفَ اِذَآ اَصَابَتْهُمْ مُّصِيْبَةٌ ۢبِمَا قَدَّمَتْ اَيْدِيْهِمْ ثُمَّ جَاۤءُوْكَ يَحْلِفُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ ۖاِنْ اَرَدْنَآ اِلَّآ اِحْسَانًا وَّتَوْفِيْقًا

    Fa kaifa iżā aṣābathum muṣībatum bimā qaddamat aidīhim ṡumma jā'ūka yaḥlifūna billāh(i), in aradnā illā iḥsānaw wa taufīqā(n).

    How ˹horrible˺ will it be if a disaster strikes them because of what their hands have done, then they come to you swearing by Allah, “We intended nothing but goodwill and reconciliation.”

63. اُولٰۤىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ يَعْلَمُ اللّٰهُ مَا فِيْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ فَاَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَعِظْهُمْ وَقُلْ لَّهُمْ فِيْٓ اَنْفُسِهِمْ قَوْلًا ۢ بَلِيْغًا

    Ulā'ikal-lażīna ya‘lamullāhu mā fī qulūbihim fa a‘riḍ ‘anhum wa ‘iẓhum wa qul lahum fī anfusihim qaulam balīgā(n).

    ˹Only˺ Allah knows what is in their hearts. So turn away from them, caution them, and give them advice that will shake their very souls.

64. وَمَآ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ رَّسُوْلٍ اِلَّا لِيُطَاعَ بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِ ۗوَلَوْ اَنَّهُمْ اِذْ ظَّلَمُوْٓا اَنْفُسَهُمْ جَاۤءُوْكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللّٰهَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُوْلُ لَوَجَدُوا اللّٰهَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيْمًا

    Wa mā arsalnā mir rasūlin illā liyuṭā‘a bi'iżnillāh(i), wa lau annahum iẓ ẓalamū anfusahum jā'ūka fastagfarullāha wastagfara lahumur-rasūlu lawajadullāha tawwābar raḥīmā(n).

    We only sent messengers to be obeyed by Allah’s Will. If only those ˹hypocrites˺ came to you ˹O Prophet˺—after wronging themselves—seeking Allah’s forgiveness and the Messenger prayed for their forgiveness, they would have certainly found Allah ever Accepting of Repentance, Most Merciful.

65. فَلَا وَرَبِّكَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ حَتّٰى يُحَكِّمُوْكَ فِيْمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَجِدُوْا فِيْٓ اَنْفُسِهِمْ حَرَجًا مِّمَّا قَضَيْتَ وَيُسَلِّمُوْا تَسْلِيْمًا

    Falā wa rabbika lā yu'minūna ḥattā yuḥakkimūka fīmā syajara bainahum ṡumma lā yajidū fī anfusihim ḥarajam mimmā qaḍaita wa yusallimū taslīmā(n).

    But no! By your Lord, they will never be ˹true˺ believers until they accept you ˹O Prophet˺ as the judge in their disputes, and find no resistance within themselves against your decision and submit wholeheartedly.

66. وَلَوْ اَنَّا كَتَبْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ اَنِ اقْتُلُوْٓا اَنْفُسَكُمْ اَوِ اخْرُجُوْا مِنْ دِيَارِكُمْ مَّا فَعَلُوْهُ اِلَّا قَلِيْلٌ مِّنْهُمْ ۗوَلَوْ اَنَّهُمْ فَعَلُوْا مَا يُوْعَظُوْنَ بِهٖ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَّهُمْ وَاَشَدَّ تَثْبِيْتًاۙ

    Wa lau annā katabnā ‘alaihim aniqtulū anfusakum awikhrujū min diyārikum mā fa‘alūhu illā qalīlum minhum, wa lau annahum fa‘alū mā yū‘aẓūna bihī lakāna khairal lahum wa asyadda taṡbītā(n).

    If We had commanded them to sacrifice themselves or abandon their homes, none would have obeyed except for a few. Had they done what they were advised to do, it would have certainly been far better for them and more reassuring,

67. وَّاِذًا لَّاٰتَيْنٰهُمْ مِّنْ لَّدُنَّآ اَجْرًا عَظِيْمًاۙ

    Wa iżal la'ātaināhum mil ladunnā ajran ‘aẓīmā(n).

    and We would have granted them a great reward by Our grace

68. وَّلَهَدَيْنٰهُمْ صِرَاطًا مُّسْتَقِيْمًا

    Wa lahadaināhum ṣirāṭam mustaqīmā(n).

    and guided them to the Straight Path.

69. وَمَنْ يُّطِعِ اللّٰهَ وَالرَّسُوْلَ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ مَعَ الَّذِيْنَ اَنْعَمَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِّنَ النَّبِيّٖنَ وَالصِّدِّيْقِيْنَ وَالشُّهَدَاۤءِ وَالصّٰلِحِيْنَ ۚ وَحَسُنَ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ رَفِيْقًا

    Wa may yuṭi‘illāha war-rasūla fa ulā'ika ma‘al-lażīna an‘amallāhu ‘alaihim minan-nabiyyīna waṣ-ṣiddīqīna wasy-syuhadā'i waṣ-ṣāliḥīn(a), wa ḥasuna ulā'ika rafīqā(n).

    And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger will be in the company of those blessed by Allah: the prophets, the people of truth, the martyrs, and the righteous—what honourable company!

70. ذٰلِكَ الْفَضْلُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ ۗوَكَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ عَلِيْمًا ࣖ

    Żālikal-faḍlu minallāh(i), wa kafā billāhi ‘alīmā(n).

    This is Allah’s favour, and Allah fully knows ˹who deserves it˺.

71. يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا خُذُوْا حِذْرَكُمْ فَانْفِرُوْا ثُبَاتٍ اَوِ انْفِرُوْا جَمِيْعًا

    Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū khużū ḥiżrakum fanfirū ṡubātin awinfirū jamī‘ā(n).

    O believers! Take your precautions and go forth either in groups or together.

72. وَاِنَّ مِنْكُمْ لَمَنْ لَّيُبَطِّئَنَّۚ فَاِنْ اَصَابَتْكُمْ مُّصِيْبَةٌ قَالَ قَدْ اَنْعَمَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيَّ اِذْ لَمْ اَكُنْ مَّعَهُمْ شَهِيْدًا

    Wa inna minkum lamal layubaṭṭi'ann(a), fa in aṣābatkum muṣībatun qāla qad an‘amallāhu ‘alayya iż lam akum ma‘ahum syahīdā(n).

    There will be some among you who will lag behind so that if you face a disaster, they will say, “Allah has blessed us for not being there among them.”

73. وَلَىِٕنْ اَصَابَكُمْ فَضْلٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ لَيَقُوْلَنَّ كَاَنْ لَّمْ تَكُنْۢ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهٗ مَوَدَّةٌ يّٰلَيْتَنِيْ كُنْتُ مَعَهُمْ فَاَفُوْزَ فَوْزًا عَظِيْمًا

    Wa la'in aṣābakum faḍlum minallāhi layaqūlanna ka'allam takum bainakum wa bainahū mawaddattuy yā laitanī kuntu ma‘ahum fa afūza fauzan ‘aẓīmā(n).

    But if you return with Allah’s bounties, they will say—as if there had been no bond between you—“We wish we had been there with them to share the great gain!”

74. ۞ فَلْيُقَاتِلْ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ الَّذِيْنَ يَشْرُوْنَ الْحَيٰوةَ الدُّنْيَا بِالْاٰخِرَةِ ۗ وَمَنْ يُّقَاتِلْ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ فَيُقْتَلْ اَوْ يَغْلِبْ فَسَوْفَ نُؤْتِيْهِ اَجْرًا عَظِيْمًا

    Falyuqātil fī sabīlillāhil-lażīna yasytarūnal-ḥayātad-dun-yā bil-ākhirah(ti), wa may yuqātil fī sabīlillāhi fa yuqtal au yaglib fa saufa nu'tīhi ajran ‘aẓīmā(n).

    Let those who would sacrifice this life for the Hereafter fight in the cause of Allah. And whoever fights in Allah’s cause—whether they achieve martyrdom or victory—We will honour them with a great reward.

75. وَمَا لَكُمْ لَا تُقَاتِلُوْنَ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِيْنَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاۤءِ وَالْوِلْدَانِ الَّذِيْنَ يَقُوْلُوْنَ رَبَّنَآ اَخْرِجْنَا مِنْ هٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ الظَّالِمِ اَهْلُهَاۚ وَاجْعَلْ لَّنَا مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ وَلِيًّاۚ وَاجْعَلْ لَّنَا مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ نَصِيْرًا

    Wa mā lakum lā tuqātilūna fī sabīlillāhi wal-mustaḍ‘afīna minar-rijāli wan-nisā'i wal-wildānil-lażīna yaqūlūna rabbanā akhrijnā min hāżihil-qaryatiẓ-ẓālimi ahluhā, waj‘al lanā mil ladunka waliyyā(n), waj‘al lanā mil ladunka naṣīrā(n).

    And what is it with you? You do not fight in the cause of Allah and for oppressed men, women, and children who cry out, “Our Lord! Deliver us from this land of oppressors! Appoint for us a saviour; appoint for us a helper—all by Your grace.”

76. اَلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا يُقَاتِلُوْنَ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ ۚ وَالَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا يُقَاتِلُوْنَ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ الطَّاغُوْتِ فَقَاتِلُوْٓا اَوْلِيَاۤءَ الشَّيْطٰنِ ۚ اِنَّ كَيْدَ الشَّيْطٰنِ كَانَ ضَعِيْفًا ۚ ࣖ

    Al-lażīna āmanū yuqātilūna fī sabīlillāh(i), wal-lażīna kafarū yuqātilūna fī sabīliṭ-ṭāgūti fa qātilū auliyā'asy-syaiṭān(i), inna kaidasy-syaiṭāni kāna ḍa‘īfā(n).

    Believers fight for the cause of Allah, whereas disbelievers fight for the cause of the Devil. So fight against Satan’s ˹evil˺ forces. Indeed, Satan’s schemes are ever weak.

77. اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِيْنَ قِيْلَ لَهُمْ كُفُّوْٓا اَيْدِيَكُمْ وَاَقِيْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَۚ فَلَمَّا كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقِتَالُ اِذَا فَرِيْقٌ مِّنْهُمْ يَخْشَوْنَ النَّاسَ كَخَشْيَةِ اللّٰهِ اَوْ اَشَدَّ خَشْيَةً ۚ وَقَالُوْا رَبَّنَا لِمَ كَتَبْتَ عَلَيْنَا الْقِتَالَۚ لَوْلَآ اَخَّرْتَنَآ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ قَرِيْبٍۗ قُلْ مَتَاعُ الدُّنْيَا قَلِيْلٌۚ وَالْاٰخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لِّمَنِ اتَّقٰىۗ وَلَا تُظْلَمُوْنَ فَتِيْلًا

    Alam tara ilal-lażīna qīla lahum kuffū aidiyakum wa aqīmuṣ-ṣalāta wa ātuz-zakāt(a), fa lammā kutiba ‘alaihimul-qitālu iżā farīqum minhum yakhsyaunan-nāsa kakhasy-yatillāhi au asyadda khasy-yah(tan), wa qālū rabbanā lima katabta ‘alainal-qitāl(a), lau lā akhkhartanā ilā ajalin qarīb(in), qul matā‘ud-dun-yā qalīl(un), wal-ākhiratu khairul limanittaqā, wa lā tuẓlamūna fatīlā(n).

    Have you ˹O Prophet˺ not seen those who had been told, “Do not fight! Rather, establish prayer and pay alms-tax.”? Then once the order came to fight, a group of them feared those ˹hostile˺ people as Allah should be feared—or even more. They said, “Our Lord! Why have You ordered us to fight? If only You had delayed ˹the order for˺ us for a little while!” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “The enjoyment of this world is so little, whereas the Hereafter is far better for those mindful ˹of Allah˺. And none of you will be wronged ˹even by the width of˺ the thread of a date stone.

78. اَيْنَ مَا تَكُوْنُوْا يُدْرِكْكُّمُ الْمَوْتُ وَلَوْ كُنْتُمْ فِيْ بُرُوْجٍ مُّشَيَّدَةٍ ۗ وَاِنْ تُصِبْهُمْ حَسَنَةٌ يَّقُوْلُوْا هٰذِهٖ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ ۚ وَاِنْ تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ يَّقُوْلُوْا هٰذِهٖ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ ۗ قُلْ كُلٌّ مِّنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ ۗ فَمَالِ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ الْقَوْمِ لَا يَكَادُوْنَ يَفْقَهُوْنَ حَدِيْثًا

    Aina mā takūnū yudrikkumul-mautu wa lau kuntum fī burūjim musyayyadah(tin), wa in tuṣibhum ḥasanatuy yaqūlū hāżihī min ‘indillāh(i), wa in tuṣibhum sayyi'atuy yaqūlū hāżihī min ‘indik(a), qul kullum min ‘indillāh(i), famā lihā'ulā'il-qaumi lā yakādūna yafqahūna ḥadīṡā(n).

    Wherever you may be, death will overcome you—even if you were in fortified towers.” When something good befalls them, they say, “This is from Allah,” but when something evil befalls them, they say, “This is from you.” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Both have been destined by Allah.” So what is the matter with these people? They can hardly comprehend anything!

79. مَآ اَصَابَكَ مِنْ حَسَنَةٍ فَمِنَ اللّٰهِ ۖ وَمَآ اَصَابَكَ مِنْ سَيِّئَةٍ فَمِنْ نَّفْسِكَ ۗ وَاَرْسَلْنٰكَ لِلنَّاسِ رَسُوْلًا ۗ وَكَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ شَهِيْدًا

    Mā aṣābaka min ḥasanatin fa minallāh(i), wa mā aṣābaka min sayyi'atin fa min nafsik(a), wa arsalnāka lin-nāsi rasūlā(n), wa kafā billāhi syahīdā(n).

    Whatever good befalls you is from Allah and whatever evil befalls you is from yourself. We have sent you ˹O Prophet˺ as a messenger to ˹all˺ people. And Allah is sufficient as a Witness.

80. مَنْ يُّطِعِ الرَّسُوْلَ فَقَدْ اَطَاعَ اللّٰهَ ۚ وَمَنْ تَوَلّٰى فَمَآ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَفِيْظًا ۗ

    May yuṭi‘ir-rasūla faqad aṭā‘allāh(a), wa man tawallā famā arsalnāka ‘alaihim ḥafīẓā(n).

    Whoever obeys the Messenger has truly obeyed Allah. But whoever turns away, then ˹know that˺ We have not sent you ˹O Prophet˺ as a keeper over them.

81. وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ طَاعَةٌ ۖ فَاِذَا بَرَزُوْا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ بَيَّتَ طَاۤىِٕفَةٌ مِّنْهُمْ غَيْرَ الَّذِيْ تَقُوْلُ ۗ وَاللّٰهُ يَكْتُبُ مَا يُبَيِّتُوْنَ ۚ فَاَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللّٰهِ ۗ وَكَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ وَكِيْلًا

    Wa yaqūlūna ṭā‘ah(tun), fa iżā barazū min ‘indika bayyata ṭā'ifatum minhum gairal-lażī taqūl(u), wallāhu yaktubu mā yubayyitūn(a), fa a‘riḍ ‘anhum wa tawakkal ‘alallāh(i), wa kafā billāhi wakīlā(n).

    And they say, “We obey,” but when they leave you, a group of them would spend the night contradicting what they said. Allah records all their schemes. So turn away from them, and put your trust in Allah. And Allah is sufficient as a Trustee of Affairs.

82. اَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُوْنَ الْقُرْاٰنَ ۗ وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ غَيْرِ اللّٰهِ لَوَجَدُوْا فِيْهِ اخْتِلَافًا كَثِيْرًا

    Afalā yatadabbarūnal-qur'ān(a), wa lau kāna min ‘indi gairillāhi lawajadū fīhikhtilāfan kaṡīrā(n).

    Do they not then reflect on the Quran? Had it been from anyone other than Allah, they would have certainly found in it many inconsistencies.

83. وَاِذَا جَاۤءَهُمْ اَمْرٌ مِّنَ الْاَمْنِ اَوِ الْخَوْفِ اَذَاعُوْا بِهٖ ۗ وَلَوْ رَدُّوْهُ اِلَى الرَّسُوْلِ وَاِلٰٓى اُولِى الْاَمْرِ مِنْهُمْ لَعَلِمَهُ الَّذِيْنَ يَسْتَنْۢبِطُوْنَهٗ مِنْهُمْ ۗ وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهٗ لَاتَّبَعْتُمُ الشَّيْطٰنَ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا

    Wa iżā jā'ahum amrum minal-amni awil-khaufi ażā‘ū bih(ī), wa lau ruddūhu ilar-rasūli wa ilā ulil-amri minhum la‘alimahul-lażīna yastambiṭūnahū minhum, wa lau lā faḍlullāhi ‘alaikum wa raḥmatuhū lattaba‘tumusy-syaiṭāna illā qalīlā(n).

    And when they hear news of security or fear, they publicize it. Had they referred it to the Messenger or their authorities, those with sound judgment among them would have validated it. Had it not been for Allah’s grace and mercy, you would have followed Satan—except for a few.

84. فَقَاتِلْ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ ۚ لَا تُكَلَّفُ اِلَّا نَفْسَكَ وَحَرِّضِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ ۚ عَسَى اللّٰهُ اَنْ يَّكُفَّ بَأْسَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا ۗوَاللّٰهُ اَشَدُّ بَأْسًا وَّاَشَدُّ تَنْكِيْلًا

    Faqātil fī sabīlillāh(i), lā tukallafu illā nafsaka wa ḥarriḍil-mu'minīn(a), ‘asallāhu ay yakuffa ba'sal lażīna kafarū, wallāhu asyaddu ba'saw wa asyaddu tankīlā(n).

    So fight in the cause of Allah ˹O Prophet˺. You are accountable for none but yourself. And motivate the believers ˹to fight˺, so perhaps Allah will curb the disbelievers’ might. And Allah is far superior in might and in punishment.

85. مَنْ يَّشْفَعْ شَفَاعَةً حَسَنَةً يَّكُنْ لَّهٗ نَصِيْبٌ مِّنْهَا ۚ وَمَنْ يَّشْفَعْ شَفَاعَةً سَيِّئَةً يَّكُنْ لَّهٗ كِفْلٌ مِّنْهَا ۗ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُّقِيْتًا

    May yasyfa‘ syafā‘atan ḥasanatay yakul lahū naṣībum minhā, wa may yasyfa‘ syafā‘atan sayyi'atay yakul lahū kiflum minhā, wa kānallāhu ‘alā kulli syai'im muqītā(n).

    Whoever intercedes for a good cause will have a share in the reward, and whoever intercedes for an evil cause will have a share in the burden. And Allah is Watchful over all things.

86. وَاِذَا حُيِّيْتُمْ بِتَحِيَّةٍ فَحَيُّوْا بِاَحْسَنَ مِنْهَآ اَوْ رُدُّوْهَا ۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَسِيْبًا

    Wa iżā ḥuyyītum bitaḥiyyatin fa ḥayyū bi'aḥsana minhā au ruddūhā, innallāha kāna ‘alā kulli syai'in ḥasībā(n).

    And when you are greeted, respond with a better greeting or at least similarly. Surely Allah is a ˹vigilant˺ Reckoner of all things.

87. اَللّٰهُ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۗ لَيَجْمَعَنَّكُمْ اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيْهِ ۗ وَمَنْ اَصْدَقُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ حَدِيْثًا ࣖ

    Allāhu lā ilāha illā huw(a), layajma‘annakum ilā yaumil-qiyāmati lā raiba fīh(i), wa man aṣdaqu minallāhi ḥadīṡā(n).

    Allah, there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. He will certainly gather ˹all of˺ you together on the Day of Judgment—about which there is no doubt. And whose word is more truthful than Allah’s?

88. ۞ فَمَا لَكُمْ فِى الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ فِئَتَيْنِ وَاللّٰهُ اَرْكَسَهُمْ بِمَا كَسَبُوْا ۗ اَتُرِيْدُوْنَ اَنْ تَهْدُوْا مَنْ اَضَلَّ اللّٰهُ ۗوَمَنْ يُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهٗ سَبِيْلًا

    Famā lakum fil-munāfiqīna fi'ataini wallāhu arkasahum bimā kasabū, aturīdūna an tahdū man aḍallallāh(u), wa may yuḍlilillāhu falan tajida lahū sabīlā(n).

    Why are you ˹believers˺ divided into two groups regarding the hypocrites while Allah allowed them to regress ˹to disbelief˺ because of their misdeeds? Do you wish to guide those left by Allah to stray? And whoever Allah leaves to stray, you will never find for them a way.

89. وَدُّوْا لَوْ تَكْفُرُوْنَ كَمَا كَفَرُوْا فَتَكُوْنُوْنَ سَوَاۤءً فَلَا تَتَّخِذُوْا مِنْهُمْ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ حَتّٰى يُهَاجِرُوْا فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ ۗ فَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَخُذُوْهُمْ وَاقْتُلُوْهُمْ حَيْثُ وَجَدْتُّمُوْهُمْ ۖ وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوْا مِنْهُمْ وَلِيًّا وَّلَا نَصِيْرًاۙ

    Waddū lau takfurūna kamā kafarū fa takūnūna sawā'an falā tattakhiżū minhum auliyā'a ḥattā yuhājirū fī sabīlillāh(i), fa in tawallau fa khużūhum waqtulūhum ḥaiṡu wajattumūhum, wa lā tattakhiżū minhum waliyyaw wa lā naṣīrā(n).

    They wish you would disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so you may all be alike. So do not take them as allies unless they emigrate in the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and do not take any of them as allies or helpers,

90. اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ يَصِلُوْنَ اِلٰى قَوْمٍۢ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُمْ مِّيْثَاقٌ اَوْ جَاۤءُوْكُمْ حَصِرَتْ صُدُوْرُهُمْ اَنْ يُّقَاتِلُوْكُمْ اَوْ يُقَاتِلُوْا قَوْمَهُمْ ۗ وَلَوْ شَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ لَسَلَّطَهُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ فَلَقَاتَلُوْكُمْ ۚ فَاِنِ اعْتَزَلُوْكُمْ فَلَمْ يُقَاتِلُوْكُمْ وَاَلْقَوْا اِلَيْكُمُ السَّلَمَ ۙ فَمَا جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ سَبِيْلًا

    Illal lażīna yaṣilūna ilā qaumim bainakum wa bainahum mīṡāqun au jā'ūkum ḥaṣirat ṣudūruhum ay yuqātilūkum au yuqātilū qaumahum, wa lau syā'allāhu lasallaṭahum ‘alaikum fa laqātalūkum, fa ini‘tazalūkum falam yuqātilūkum wa alqau ilaikumus-salam(a), famā ja‘alallāhu lakum ‘alaihim sabīlā(n).

    except those who are allies of a people you are bound with in a treaty or those wholeheartedly opposed to fighting either you or their own people. If Allah had willed, He would have empowered them to fight you. So if they refrain from fighting you and offer you peace, then Allah does not permit you to harm them.

91. سَتَجِدُوْنَ اٰخَرِيْنَ يُرِيْدُوْنَ اَنْ يَّأْمَنُوْكُمْ وَيَأْمَنُوْا قَوْمَهُمْ ۗ كُلَّ مَا رُدُّوْٓا اِلَى الْفِتْنَةِ اُرْكِسُوْا فِيْهَا ۚ فَاِنْ لَّمْ يَعْتَزِلُوْكُمْ وَيُلْقُوْٓا اِلَيْكُمُ السَّلَمَ وَيَكُفُّوْٓا اَيْدِيَهُمْ فَخُذُوْهُمْ وَاقْتُلُوْهُمْ حَيْثُ ثَقِفْتُمُوْهُمْ ۗ وَاُولٰۤىِٕكُمْ جَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطٰنًا مُّبِيْنًا ࣖ

    Satajidūna akharīna yurīdūna ay ya'manūkum wa ya'manū qaumahum, kullamā ruddū ilal-fitnati urkisū fīhā, fa illam ya‘tazilūkum wa yulqū ilaikumus-salama wa yakuffū aidiyahum fa khużūhum waqtulūhum ḥaiṡu ṡaqiftumūhum, wa ulā'ikum ja‘alnā lakum ‘alaihim sulṭānam mubīnā(n).

    You will find others who wish to be safe from you and their own people. Yet they cannot resist the temptation ˹of disbelief or hostility˺. If they do not keep away, offer you peace, or refrain from attacking you, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them. We have given you full permission over such people.

92. وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ اَنْ يَّقْتُلَ مُؤْمِنًا اِلَّا خَطَـًٔا ۚ وَمَنْ قَتَلَ مُؤْمِنًا خَطَـًٔا فَتَحْرِيْرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُّؤْمِنَةٍ وَّدِيَةٌ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ اِلٰٓى اَهْلِهٖٓ اِلَّآ اَنْ يَّصَّدَّقُوْا ۗ فَاِنْ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْمٍ عَدُوٍّ لَّكُمْ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَتَحْرِيْرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُّؤْمِنَةٍ ۗوَاِنْ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْمٍۢ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُمْ مِّيْثَاقٌ فَدِيَةٌ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ اِلٰٓى اَهْلِهٖ وَتَحْرِيْرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُّؤْمِنَةٍ ۚ فَمَنْ لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِۖ تَوْبَةً مِّنَ اللّٰهِ ۗوَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلِيْمًا حَكِيْمًا

    Wa mā kāna limu'minin ay yaqtula mu'minan illā khaṭa'ā(n), wa man qatala mu'minan khaṭa'an fa taḥrīru raqabatim mu'minatiw wa diyatum musallamatun ilā ahlihī illā ay yaṣṣaddaqū, fa in kāna min qaumim bainakum wa bainahum mīṡāqun fa diyatum musallamatun ilā ahlihī wa taḥrīru raqabatim mu'minah(tin), famal lam yajid fa ṣiyāmu syahraini mutatābi‘aini taubatam minallāh(i), wa kānallāhu ‘alīman ḥakīmā(n).

    It is not lawful for a believer to kill another except by mistake. And whoever kills a believer unintentionally must free a believing slave and pay blood-money to the victim’s family—unless they waive it charitably. But if the victim is a believer from a hostile people, then a believing slave must be freed. And if the victim is from a people bound with you in a treaty, then blood-money must be paid to the family along with freeing a believing slave. Those who are unable, let them fast two consecutive months—as a means of repentance to Allah. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

93. وَمَنْ يَّقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُّتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاۤؤُهٗ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِدًا فِيْهَا وَغَضِبَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَعَنَهٗ وَاَعَدَّ لَهٗ عَذَابًا عَظِيْمًا

    Wa may yaqtul mu'minam muta‘ammidan fa jazā'uhū jahannamu khālidan fīhā wa gaḍiballāhu ‘alaihi wa la‘anahū wa a‘adda lahū ‘ażāban ‘aẓīmā(n).

    And whoever kills a believer intentionally, their reward will be Hell—where they will stay indefinitely. Allah will be displeased with them, condemn them, and will prepare for them a tremendous punishment.

94. يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ فَتَبَيَّنُوْا وَلَا تَقُوْلُوْا لِمَنْ اَلْقٰىٓ اِلَيْكُمُ السَّلٰمَ لَسْتَ مُؤْمِنًاۚ تَبْتَغُوْنَ عَرَضَ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا ۖفَعِنْدَ اللّٰهِ مَغَانِمُ كَثِيْرَةٌ ۗ كَذٰلِكَ كُنْتُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلُ فَمَنَّ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَتَبَيَّنُوْاۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِيْرًا

    Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū iżā ḍarabtum fī sabīlillāhi fa tabayyanū wa lā taqūlū liman alqā ilaikumus-salāma lasta mu'minā(n), tabtagūna ‘araḍal-ḥayātid-dun-yā, fa ‘indallāhi magānimu kaṡīrah(tun), każālika kuntum min qablu fa mannallāhu ‘alaikum fa tabayyanū, innallāha kāna bimā ta‘malūna khabīrā(n).

    O believers! When you struggle in the cause of Allah, be sure of who you fight. And do not say to those who offer you ˹greetings of˺ peace, “You are no believer!”—seeking a fleeting worldly gain. Instead, Allah has infinite bounties ˹in store˺. You were initially like them then Allah blessed you ˹with Islam˺. So be sure! Indeed, Allah is All-Aware of what you do.

95. لَا يَسْتَوِى الْقٰعِدُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ غَيْرُ اُولِى الضَّرَرِ وَالْمُجٰهِدُوْنَ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاَنْفُسِهِمْۗ فَضَّلَ اللّٰهُ الْمُجٰهِدِيْنَ بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاَنْفُسِهِمْ عَلَى الْقٰعِدِيْنَ دَرَجَةً ۗ وَكُلًّا وَّعَدَ اللّٰهُ الْحُسْنٰىۗ وَفَضَّلَ اللّٰهُ الْمُجٰهِدِيْنَ عَلَى الْقٰعِدِيْنَ اَجْرًا عَظِيْمًاۙ

    Lā yastawil-qā‘idūna minal-mu'minīna gairu uliḍ-ḍarari wal-mujāhidūna fī sabīlillāhi bi'amwālihim wa anfusihim, faḍḍalallāhul-mujāhidīna bi amwālihim wa anfusihim ‘alal-qā‘idīna darajah(tan), wa kullaw wa‘adallāhul-ḥusnā, wa faḍḍalallāhul-mujāhidīna ‘alal-qā‘idīna ajran ‘aẓīmā(n).

    Those who stay at home—except those with valid excuses—are not equal to those who strive in the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives. Allah has elevated in rank those who strive with their wealth and their lives above those who stay behind ˹with valid excuses˺. Allah has promised each a fine reward, but those who strive will receive a far better reward than others—

96. دَرَجٰتٍ مِّنْهُ وَمَغْفِرَةً وَّرَحْمَةً ۗوَكَانَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِيْمًا ࣖ

    Darajātim minhu wa magfirataw wa raḥmah(tan), wa kānallāhu gafūrar raḥīmā(n).

    far superior ranks, forgiveness, and mercy from Him. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

97. اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ تَوَفّٰىهُمُ الْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةُ ظَالِمِيْٓ اَنْفُسِهِمْ قَالُوْا فِيْمَ كُنْتُمْ ۗ قَالُوْا كُنَّا مُسْتَضْعَفِيْنَ فِى الْاَرْضِۗ قَالُوْٓا اَلَمْ تَكُنْ اَرْضُ اللّٰهِ وَاسِعَةً فَتُهَاجِرُوْا فِيْهَا ۗ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ مَأْوٰىهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ ۗ وَسَاۤءَتْ مَصِيْرًاۙ

    Innal-lażīna tawaffāhumul-malā'ikatu ẓālimī anfusihim qālū fīma kuntum, qālū kunnā mustaḍ‘afīna fil-arḍ(i), qālū alam takun arḍullāhi wāsi‘atan fa tuhājirū fīhā, fa ulā'ika ma'wāhum jahannam(u), wa sā'at maṣīrā(n).

    When the angels seize the souls of those who have wronged themselves—scolding them, “What is wrong with you?” they will reply, “We were oppressed in the land.” The angels will respond, “Was Allah’s earth not spacious enough for you to emigrate?” It is they who will have Hell as their home—what an evil destination!

98. اِلَّا الْمُسْتَضْعَفِيْنَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاۤءِ وَالْوِلْدَانِ لَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ حِيْلَةً وَّلَا يَهْتَدُوْنَ سَبِيْلًاۙ

    Illal-mustaḍ‘afīna minar-rijāli wan-nisā'i wal-wildāni lā yastaṭī‘ūna ḥīlataw wa lā yahtadūna sabīlā(n).

    Except helpless men, women, and children who cannot afford a way out—

99. فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ عَسَى اللّٰهُ اَنْ يَّعْفُوَ عَنْهُمْ ۗ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَفُوًّا غَفُوْرًا

    Fa ulā'ika ‘asallāhu ay ya‘fuwa ‘anhum, wa kānallāhu ‘afuwwan gafūrā(n).

    it is right to hope that Allah will pardon them. For Allah is Ever-Pardoning, All-Forgiving.

100. ۞ وَمَنْ يُّهَاجِرْ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ يَجِدْ فِى الْاَرْضِ مُرٰغَمًا كَثِيْرًا وَّسَعَةً ۗوَمَنْ يَّخْرُجْ مِنْۢ بَيْتِهٖ مُهَاجِرًا اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ ثُمَّ يُدْرِكْهُ الْمَوْتُ فَقَدْ وَقَعَ اَجْرُهٗ عَلَى اللّٰهِ ۗوَكَانَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِيْمًا ࣖ

     Wa may yuhājir fī sabīlillāhi yajid fil-arḍi murāgaman kaṡīraw wa sa‘ah(tan), wa may yakhruj mim baitihī muhājiran ilallāhi wa rasūlihī ṡumma yudrik-hul-mautu faqad waqa‘a ajruhū ‘alallāh(i), wa kānallāhu gafūrar raḥīmā(n).

     Whoever emigrates in the cause of Allah will find many safe havens and bountiful resources throughout the earth. Those who leave their homes and die while emigrating to Allah and His Messenger—their reward has already been secured with Allah. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

101. وَاِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِى الْاَرْضِ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ اَنْ تَقْصُرُوْا مِنَ الصَّلٰوةِ ۖ اِنْ خِفْتُمْ اَنْ يَّفْتِنَكُمُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْاۗ اِنَّ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ كَانُوْا لَكُمْ عَدُوًّا مُّبِيْنًا

     Wa iżā ḍarabtum fil-arḍi fa laisa ‘alaikum junāḥun an taqṣurū minaṣ-ṣalāh(ti), in khiftum ay yaftinakumul-lażīna kafarū, innal-kāfirīna kānū lakum ‘aduwwam mubīnā(n).

     When you travel through the land, it is permissible for you to shorten the prayer—˹especially˺ if you fear an attack by the disbelievers. Indeed, the disbelievers are your sworn enemies.

102. وَاِذَا كُنْتَ فِيْهِمْ فَاَقَمْتَ لَهُمُ الصَّلٰوةَ فَلْتَقُمْ طَاۤىِٕفَةٌ مِّنْهُمْ مَّعَكَ وَلْيَأْخُذُوْٓا اَسْلِحَتَهُمْ ۗ فَاِذَا سَجَدُوْا فَلْيَكُوْنُوْا مِنْ وَّرَاۤىِٕكُمْۖ وَلْتَأْتِ طَاۤىِٕفَةٌ اُخْرٰى لَمْ يُصَلُّوْا فَلْيُصَلُّوْا مَعَكَ وَلْيَأْخُذُوْا حِذْرَهُمْ وَاَسْلِحَتَهُمْ ۚ وَدَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَوْ تَغْفُلُوْنَ عَنْ اَسْلِحَتِكُمْ وَاَمْتِعَتِكُمْ فَيَمِيْلُوْنَ عَلَيْكُمْ مَّيْلَةً وَّاحِدَةً ۗوَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ اِنْ كَانَ بِكُمْ اَذًى مِّنْ مَّطَرٍ اَوْ كُنْتُمْ مَّرْضٰٓى اَنْ تَضَعُوْٓا اَسْلِحَتَكُمْ وَخُذُوْا حِذْرَكُمْ ۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ اَعَدَّ لِلْكٰفِرِيْنَ عَذَابًا مُّهِيْنًا

     When you ˹O Prophet˺ are ˹campaigning˺ with them and you lead them in prayer, let one group of them pray with you—while armed. When they prostrate themselves, let the other group stand guard behind them. Then the group that has not yet prayed will then join you in prayer—and let them be vigilant and armed. The disbelievers would wish to see you neglect your weapons and belongings, so they could launch a sweeping assault on you. But there is no blame if you lay aside your weapons when overcome by heavy rain or illness—but take precaution. Indeed, Allah has prepared a humiliating punishment for the disbelievers.

103. فَاِذَا قَضَيْتُمُ الصَّلٰوةَ فَاذْكُرُوا اللّٰهَ قِيَامًا وَّقُعُوْدًا وَّعَلٰى جُنُوْبِكُمْ ۚ فَاِذَا اطْمَأْنَنْتُمْ فَاَقِيْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ ۚ اِنَّ الصَّلٰوةَ كَانَتْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ كِتٰبًا مَّوْقُوْتًا

     Fa iżā qaḍaitumuṣ-ṣalāta fażkurullāha qiyāmaw wa qu‘ūdaw wa ‘alā junūbikum, fa iżaṭma'nantum fa aqīmuṣ-ṣalāh(ta), innaṣ-ṣalāta kānat ‘alal-mu'minīna kitābam mauqūtā(n).

     When the prayers are over, remember Allah—whether you are standing, sitting, or lying down. But when you are secure, establish regular prayers. Indeed, performing prayers is a duty on the believers at the appointed times.

104. وَلَا تَهِنُوْا فِى ابْتِغَاۤءِ الْقَوْمِ ۗ اِنْ تَكُوْنُوْا تَأْلَمُوْنَ فَاِنَّهُمْ يَأْلَمُوْنَ كَمَا تَأْلَمُوْنَ ۚوَتَرْجُوْنَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا يَرْجُوْنَ ۗوَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلِيْمًا حَكِيْمًا ࣖ

     Wa lā tahinū fibtigā'il-qaum(i), in takūnū ta'lamūna fa innahum ya'lamūna kamā ta'lamūn(a), wa tarjūna minallāhi mā lā yarjūn(a), wa kānallāhu ‘alīman ḥakīmā(n).

     Do not falter in pursuit of the enemy—if you are suffering, they too are suffering. But you can hope to receive from Allah what they can never hope for. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

105. اِنَّآ اَنْزَلْنَآ اِلَيْكَ الْكِتٰبَ بِالْحَقِّ لِتَحْكُمَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِمَآ اَرٰىكَ اللّٰهُ ۗوَلَا تَكُنْ لِّلْخَاۤىِٕنِيْنَ خَصِيْمًا ۙ

     Innā anzalnā ilaikal-kitāba bil-ḥaqqi litaḥkuma bainan-nāsi bimā arākallāh(u), wa lā takun lil-khā'inīna khaṣīmā(n).

     Indeed, We have sent down the Book to you ˹O Prophet˺ in truth to judge between people by means of what Allah has shown you. So do not be an advocate for the deceitful.

106. وَّاسْتَغْفِرِ اللّٰهَ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِيْمًاۚ

     Wastagfirillāh(a), innallāha kāna gafūrar raḥīmā(n).

     And seek Allah’s forgiveness—indeed, Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

107. وَلَا تُجَادِلْ عَنِ الَّذِيْنَ يَخْتَانُوْنَ اَنْفُسَهُمْ ۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُحِبُّ مَنْ كَانَ خَوَّانًا اَثِيْمًاۙ

     Wa lā tujādil ‘anil-lażīna yakhtānūna anfusahum, innallāha lā yuḥibbu man kāna khawwānan aṡīmā(n).

     Do not advocate for those who wrong themselves. Surely Allah does not like those who are deceitful, sinful.

108. يَّسْتَخْفُوْنَ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَلَا يَسْتَخْفُوْنَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ وَهُوَ مَعَهُمْ اِذْ يُبَيِّتُوْنَ مَا لَا يَرْضٰى مِنَ الْقَوْلِ ۗ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ بِمَا يَعْمَلُوْنَ مُحِيْطًا

     Yastakhfūna minan-nāsi wa lā yastakhfūna minallāhi wa huwa ma‘ahum iż yubayyitūna mā lā yarḍā minal-qaul(i), wa kānallāhu bimā ya‘malūna muḥīṭā(n).

     They try to hide ˹their deception˺ from people, but they can never hide it from Allah—in Whose presence they plot by night what is displeasing to Him. And Allah is Fully Aware of what they do.

109. هٰٓاَنْتُمْ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ جَادَلْتُمْ عَنْهُمْ فِى الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَاۗ فَمَنْ يُّجَادِلُ اللّٰهَ عَنْهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ اَمْ مَّنْ يَّكُوْنُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَكِيْلًا

     Hā'antum hā'ulā'i jādaltum ‘anhum fil-ḥayātid-dun-yā, famay yujādilullāha ‘anhum yaumal-qiyāmati am may yakūnu ‘alaihim wakīlā(n).

     Here you are! You ˹believers˺ are advocating for them in this life, but who will ˹dare to˺ advocate for them before Allah on the Day of Judgment? Or who will come to their defence?

110. وَمَنْ يَّعْمَلْ سُوْۤءًا اَوْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهٗ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرِ اللّٰهَ يَجِدِ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِيْمًا

     Wa may ya‘mal sū'an au yaẓlim nafsahū ṡumma yastagfirillāha yajidillāha gafūrar raḥīmā(n).

     Whoever commits evil or wrongs themselves then seeks Allah’s forgiveness will certainly find Allah All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

111. وَمَنْ يَّكْسِبْ اِثْمًا فَاِنَّمَا يَكْسِبُهٗ عَلٰى نَفْسِهٖ ۗ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلِيْمًا حَكِيْمًا

     Wa may yaksib iṡman fa innamā yaksibuhū ‘alā nafsih(ī),wa kānallāhu ‘alīman ḥakīmā(n).

     And whoever commits a sin—it is only to their own loss. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

112. وَمَنْ يَّكْسِبْ خَطِيْۤـَٔةً اَوْ اِثْمًا ثُمَّ يَرْمِ بِهٖ بَرِيْۤـًٔا فَقَدِ احْتَمَلَ بُهْتَانًا وَّاِثْمًا مُّبِيْنًا ࣖ

     Wa may yaksib khaṭī'atan au iṡman ṡumma yarmi bihī barī'an fa qadiḥtamala buhtānaw wa iṡmam mubīnā(n).

     And whoever commits an evil or sinful deed then blames it on an innocent person, they will definitely bear the guilt of slander and blatant sin.

113. وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْكَ وَرَحْمَتُهٗ لَهَمَّتْ طَّاۤىِٕفَةٌ مِّنْهُمْ اَنْ يُّضِلُّوْكَۗ وَمَا يُضِلُّوْنَ اِلَّآ اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَضُرُّوْنَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ۗ وَاَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتٰبَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَعَلَّمَكَ مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ تَعْلَمُۗ وَكَانَ فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْكَ عَظِيْمًا

     Wa lau lā faḍlullāhi ‘alaika wa raḥmatuhū lahammaṭ-ṭā'ifatum minhum ay yuḍillūk(a), wa mā yuḍillūna illā anfusahum wa mā yaḍurrūnaka min syai'(in), wa anzalallāhu ‘alaikal-kitāba wal-ḥikmata wa ‘allamaka mā lam takun ta‘lam(u), wa kāna faḍlullāhi ‘alaika ‘aẓīmā(n).

     Had it not been for Allah’s grace and mercy, a group of them would have sought to deceive you ˹O Prophet˺. Yet they would deceive none but themselves, nor can they harm you in the least. Allah has revealed to you the Book and wisdom and taught you what you never knew. Great ˹indeed˺ is Allah’s favour upon you!

114. ۞ لَا خَيْرَ فِيْ كَثِيْرٍ مِّنْ نَّجْوٰىهُمْ اِلَّا مَنْ اَمَرَ بِصَدَقَةٍ اَوْ مَعْرُوْفٍ اَوْ اِصْلَاحٍۢ بَيْنَ النَّاسِۗ وَمَنْ يَّفْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ ابْتِغَاۤءَ مَرْضَاتِ اللّٰهِ فَسَوْفَ نُؤْتِيْهِ اَجْرًا عَظِيْمًا

     Lā khaira fī kaṡīrim min najwāhum illā man amara biṣadaqatin au ma‘rūfin au iṣlāḥim bainan-nās(i), wa may yaf‘al żālikabtigā'a marḍātillāhi fa saufa nu'tīhi ajran ‘aẓīmā(n).

     There is no good in most of their secret talks—except those encouraging charity, kindness, or reconciliation between people. And whoever does this seeking Allah’s pleasure, We will grant them a great reward.

115. وَمَنْ يُّشَاقِقِ الرَّسُوْلَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ الْهُدٰى وَيَتَّبِعْ غَيْرَ سَبِيْلِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ نُوَلِّهٖ مَا تَوَلّٰى وَنُصْلِهٖ جَهَنَّمَۗ وَسَاۤءَتْ مَصِيْرًا ࣖ

     Wa may yusyāqiqir-rasūla mim ba‘di mā tabayyana lahul-hudā wa yattabi‘ gaira sabīlil-mu'minīna nuwallihī mā tawallā wa nuṣlihī jahannam(a), wa sā'at maṣīrā(n).

     And whoever defies the Messenger after guidance has become clear to them and follows a path other than that of the believers, We will let them pursue what they have chosen, then burn them in Hell—what an evil end!

116. اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ اَنْ يُّشْرَكَ بِهٖ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُوْنَ ذٰلِكَ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ ۗ وَمَنْ يُّشْرِكْ بِاللّٰهِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلٰلًا ۢ بَعِيْدًا

     Innallāha lā yagfiru ay yusyraka bihī wa yagfiru mā dūna żālika limay yasyā'(u), wa may yusyrik billāhi faqad ḍalla ḍalālam ba‘īdā(n).

     Surely Allah does not forgive associating ˹others˺ with Him ˹in worship˺, but forgives anything else of whoever He wills. Indeed, whoever associates ˹others˺ with Allah has clearly gone far astray.

117. اِنْ يَّدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖٓ اِلَّآ اِنٰثًاۚ وَاِنْ يَّدْعُوْنَ اِلَّا شَيْطٰنًا مَّرِيْدًاۙ

     Iy yad‘ūna min dūnihī illā ināṡā(n), wa iy yad‘ūna illā syaiṭānam marīdā(n).

     Instead of Allah, they only invoke female gods and they ˹actually˺ invoke none but a rebellious Satan—

118. لَّعَنَهُ اللّٰهُ ۘ وَقَالَ لَاَتَّخِذَنَّ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ نَصِيْبًا مَّفْرُوْضًاۙ

     La‘anahullāh(u), wa qāla la'attakhiżanna min ‘ibādika naṣībam mafrūḍā(n).

     cursed by Allah—who said, “I will surely take hold of a certain number of Your servants.

119. وَّلَاُضِلَّنَّهُمْ وَلَاُمَنِّيَنَّهُمْ وَلَاٰمُرَنَّهُمْ فَلَيُبَتِّكُنَّ اٰذَانَ الْاَنْعَامِ وَلَاٰمُرَنَّهُمْ فَلَيُغَيِّرُنَّ خَلْقَ اللّٰهِ ۗوَمَنْ يَّتَّخِذِ الشَّيْطٰنَ وَلِيًّا مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ فَقَدْ خَسِرَ خُسْرَانًا مُّبِيْنًا

     Wa la'uḍillannahum wa la'umanniyannahum wa la'āmurannahum fa layubattikunna āżānal-an‘āmi wa la'āmurannahum fa layugayyirunna khalqallāh(i), wa may yattakhiżisy-syaiṭāna waliyyam min dūnillāhi faqad khasira khusrānam mubīnā(n).

     I will certainly mislead them and delude them with empty hopes. Also, I will order them and they will slit the ears of cattle and alter Allah’s creation.” And whoever takes Satan as a guardian instead of Allah has certainly suffered a tremendous loss.

120. يَعِدُهُمْ وَيُمَنِّيْهِمْۗ وَمَا يَعِدُهُمُ الشَّيْطٰنُ اِلَّا غُرُوْرًا

     Ya‘iduhum wa yumannīhim, wa mā ya‘iduhumusy-syaiṭānu illā gurūrā(n).

     Satan only makes them ˹false˺ promises and deludes them with ˹empty˺ hopes. Truly Satan promises them nothing but delusion.

121. اُولٰۤىِٕكَ مَأْوٰىهُمْ جَهَنَّمُۖ وَلَا يَجِدُوْنَ عَنْهَا مَحِيْصًا

     Ulā'ika ma'wāhum jahannam(u), wa lā yajidūna ‘anhā maḥīṣā(n).

     It is they who will have Hell as their home, and they will find no escape from it!

122. وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ سَنُدْخِلُهُمْ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَآ اَبَدًاۗ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقًّا ۗوَمَنْ اَصْدَقُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ قِيْلًا

     Wal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti sanudkhiluhum jannātin tajrī min taḥtihal-anhāru khālidīna fīhā abadā(n), wa‘dallāhi ḥaqqā(n), wa man aṣdaqu minallāhi qīlā(n).

     And those who believe and do good, We will soon admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there for ever and ever. Allah’s promise is ˹always˺ true. And whose word is more truthful than Allah’s?

123. لَيْسَ بِاَمَانِيِّكُمْ وَلَآ اَمَانِيِّ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ ۗ مَنْ يَّعْمَلْ سُوْۤءًا يُّجْزَ بِهٖۙ وَلَا يَجِدْ لَهٗ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَلِيًّا وَّلَا نَصِيْرًا

     Laisa bi'amāniyyikum wa lā amāniyyi ahlil-kitāb(i), may ya‘mal sū'ay yujza bih(ī), wa lā yajid lahū min dūnillāhi waliyyaw wa lā naṣīrā(n).

     ˹Divine grace is˺ neither by your wishes nor those of the People of the Book! Whoever commits evil will be rewarded accordingly, and they will find no protector or helper besides Allah.

124. وَمَنْ يَّعْمَلْ مِنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ اَوْ اُنْثٰى وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ يَدْخُلُوْنَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَا يُظْلَمُوْنَ نَقِيْرًا

     Wa may ya‘mal minaṣ-ṣāliḥāti min żakarin au unṡā wa huwa mu'minun fa ulā'ika yadkhulūnal-jannata wa lā yuẓlamūna naqīrā(n).

     But those who do good—whether male or female—and have faith will enter Paradise and will never be wronged ˹even as much as˺ the speck on a date stone.

125. وَمَنْ اَحْسَنُ دِيْنًا مِّمَّنْ اَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهٗ لِلّٰهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ وَّاتَّبَعَ مِلَّةَ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ حَنِيْفًا ۗوَاتَّخَذَ اللّٰهُ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ خَلِيْلًا

     Wa man aḥsanu dīnam mimman aslama wajhahū lillāhi wa huwa muḥsinuw wattaba‘a millata ibrāhīma ḥanīfā(n), wattakhażallāhu ibrāhīma khalīlā(n).

     And who is better in faith than those who ˹fully˺ submit themselves to Allah, do good, and follow the Way of Abraham, the upright? Allah chose Abraham as a close friend.

126. وَلِلّٰهِ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الْاَرْضِۗ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُّحِيْطًا ࣖ

     Wa lillāhi mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ(i), wa kānallāhu bikulli syai'im muḥīṭā(n).

     To Allah ˹alone˺ belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And Allah is Fully Aware of everything.

127. وَيَسْتَفْتُوْنَكَ فِى النِّسَاۤءِۗ قُلِ اللّٰهُ يُفْتِيْكُمْ فِيْهِنَّ ۙوَمَا يُتْلٰى عَلَيْكُمْ فِى الْكِتٰبِ فِيْ يَتٰمَى النِّسَاۤءِ الّٰتِيْ لَا تُؤْتُوْنَهُنَّ مَا كُتِبَ لَهُنَّ وَتَرْغَبُوْنَ اَنْ تَنْكِحُوْهُنَّ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِيْنَ مِنَ الْوِلْدَانِۙ وَاَنْ تَقُوْمُوْا لِلْيَتٰمٰى بِالْقِسْطِ ۗوَمَا تَفْعَلُوْا مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِهٖ عَلِيْمًا

     Wa yastaftūnaka fin-nisā'(i), qulillāhu yuftīkum fīhinn(a), wa mā yutlā ‘alaikum fil-kitābi fī yatāman-nisā'il-lātī lā tu'tūnahunna mā kutiba lahunna wa targabūna an tankiḥūhunna wal-mustaḍ‘afīna minal-wildān(i), wa an taqūmū lil-yatāmā bil-qisṭ(i), wa mā taf‘alū min khairin fa innallāha kāna bihī ‘alīmā(n).

     They ask you ˹O Prophet˺ regarding women. Say, “It is Allah Who instructs you regarding them. Instruction has ˹already˺ been revealed in the Book concerning the orphan women you deprive of their due rights but still wish to marry, also helpless children, as well as standing up for orphans’ rights. And whatever good you do is certainly well known to Allah.”

128. وَاِنِ امْرَاَةٌ خَافَتْ مِنْۢ بَعْلِهَا نُشُوْزًا اَوْ اِعْرَاضًا فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِمَآ اَنْ يُّصْلِحَا بَيْنَهُمَا صُلْحًا ۗوَالصُّلْحُ خَيْرٌ ۗوَاُحْضِرَتِ الْاَنْفُسُ الشُّحَّۗ وَاِنْ تُحْسِنُوْا وَتَتَّقُوْا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِيْرًا

     Wa inimra'atun khāfat mim ba‘lihā nusyūzan au i‘rāḍan falā junāḥa ‘alaihimā ay yuṣliḥā bainahumā ṣulḥā(n), waṣ-ṣulḥu khair(un), wa uḥḍiratil-anfususy-syuḥḥ(a), wa in tuḥsinū wa tattaqū fa innallāha kāna bimā ta‘malūna khabīrā(n).

     If a woman fears indifference or neglect from her husband, there is no blame on either of them if they seek ˹fair˺ settlement, which is best. Humans are ever inclined to selfishness. But if you are gracious and mindful ˹of Allah˺, surely Allah is All-Aware of what you do.

129. وَلَنْ تَسْتَطِيْعُوْٓا اَنْ تَعْدِلُوْا بَيْنَ النِّسَاۤءِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتُمْ فَلَا تَمِيْلُوْا كُلَّ الْمَيْلِ فَتَذَرُوْهَا كَالْمُعَلَّقَةِ ۗوَاِنْ تُصْلِحُوْا وَتَتَّقُوْا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِيْمًا

     Wa lan tastaṭī‘ū an ta‘dilū bainan-nisā'i wa lau ḥaraṣtum falā tamīlū kullal-maili fa tażarūhā kal-mu‘allaqah(ti), wa in tuṣliḥū wa tattaqū fa innallāha kāna gafūrar raḥīmā(n).

     You will never be able to maintain ˹emotional˺ justice between your wives—no matter how keen you are. So do not totally incline towards one leaving the other in suspense. And if you do what is right and are mindful ˹of Allah˺, surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

130. وَاِنْ يَّتَفَرَّقَا يُغْنِ اللّٰهُ كُلًّا مِّنْ سَعَتِهٖۗ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ وَاسِعًا حَكِيْمًا

     Wa iy yatafarraqā yugnillāhu kullam min sa‘atih(ī), wa kānallāhu wāsi‘an ḥakīmā(n).

     But if they choose to separate, Allah will enrich both of them from His bounties. And Allah is Ever-Bountiful, All-Wise.

131. وَلِلّٰهِ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الْاَرْضِۗ وَلَقَدْ وَصَّيْنَا الَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوا الْكِتٰبَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ وَاِيَّاكُمْ اَنِ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ ۗوَاِنْ تَكْفُرُوْا فَاِنَّ لِلّٰهِ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الْاَرْضِۗ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ غَنِيًّا حَمِيْدًا

     Wa lillāhi mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ(i), wa laqad waṣṣainal-lażīna ūtul-kitāba min qablikum wa iyyākum anittaqullāh(a), wa in takfurū fa inna lillāhi mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ(i), wa kānallāhu ganiyyan ḥamīdā(n).

     To Allah ˹alone˺ belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Indeed, We have commanded those given the Scripture before you, as well as you, to be mindful of Allah. But if you disobey, then ˹know that˺ to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. And Allah is Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.

132. وَلِلّٰهِ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الْاَرْضِ ۗوَكَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ وَكِيْلًا

     Wa lillāhi mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ(i), wa kafā billāhi wakīlā(n).

     To Allah ˹alone˺ belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And Allah is sufficient as a Trustee of Affairs.

133. اِنْ يَّشَأْ يُذْهِبْكُمْ اَيُّهَا النَّاسُ وَيَأْتِ بِاٰخَرِيْنَۗ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى ذٰلِكَ قَدِيْرًا

     Iy yasya' yużhibkum ayyuhan-nāsu wa ya'ti bi'ākharīn(a), wa kānallāhu ‘alā żālika qadīrā(n).

     If it is His Will, He can remove you altogether, O humanity, and replace you with others. And Allah is Most Capable to do so.

134. مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيْدُ ثَوَابَ الدُّنْيَا فَعِنْدَ اللّٰهِ ثَوَابُ الدُّنْيَا وَالْاٰخِرَةِ ۗوَكَانَ اللّٰهُ سَمِيْعًاۢ بَصِيْرًا ࣖ

     Man kāna yurīdu ṡawābad-dun-yā fa ‘indallāhi ṡawābud-dun-yā wal-ākhirah(ti), wa kānallāhu samī‘am baṣīrā(n).

     Whoever desires the reward of this world, then ˹let them know that˺ with Allah are the rewards of this world and the Hereafter. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

135. ۞ يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا كُوْنُوْا قَوَّامِيْنَ بِالْقِسْطِ شُهَدَاۤءَ لِلّٰهِ وَلَوْ عَلٰٓى اَنْفُسِكُمْ اَوِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالْاَقْرَبِيْنَ ۚ اِنْ يَّكُنْ غَنِيًّا اَوْ فَقِيْرًا فَاللّٰهُ اَوْلٰى بِهِمَاۗ فَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا الْهَوٰٓى اَنْ تَعْدِلُوْا ۚ وَاِنْ تَلْوٗٓا اَوْ تُعْرِضُوْا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِيْرًا

     Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū kūnū qawwāmīna bil-qisṭi syuhadā'a lillāhi wa lau ‘alā anfusikum awil-wālidaini wal-aqrabīn(a), iy yakun ganiyyan au faqīran fallāhu aulā bihimā, falā tattabi‘ul-hawā an ta‘dilū, wa in talwū au tu‘riḍū fa innallāha kāna bimā ta‘malūna khabīrā(n).

     O believers! Stand firm for justice as witnesses for Allah even if it is against yourselves, your parents, or close relatives. Be they rich or poor, Allah is best to ensure their interests. So do not let your desires cause you to deviate ˹from justice˺. If you distort the testimony or refuse to give it, then ˹know that˺ Allah is certainly All-Aware of what you do.

136. يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اٰمِنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ وَالْكِتٰبِ الَّذِيْ نَزَّلَ عَلٰى رَسُوْلِهٖ وَالْكِتٰبِ الَّذِيْٓ اَنْزَلَ مِنْ قَبْلُ ۗوَمَنْ يَّكْفُرْ بِاللّٰهِ وَمَلٰۤىِٕكَتِهٖ وَكُتُبِهٖ وَرُسُلِهٖ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلٰلًا ۢ بَعِيْدًا

     Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū āminū billāhi wa rasūlihī wal-kitābil-lażī nazzala ‘alā rasūlihī wal-kitābil-lażī anzala min qabl(u), wa may yakfur billāhi wa malā'ikatihī wa kutubihī wa rusulihī wal-yaumil-ākhiri faqad ḍalla ḍalālam ba‘īdā(n).

     O believers! Have faith in Allah, His Messenger, the Book He has revealed to His Messenger, and the Scriptures He revealed before. Indeed, whoever denies Allah, His angels, His Books, His messengers, and the Last Day has clearly gone far astray.

137. اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا ثُمَّ كَفَرُوْا ثُمَّ اٰمَنُوْا ثُمَّ كَفَرُوْا ثُمَّ ازْدَادُوْا كُفْرًا لَّمْ يَكُنِ اللّٰهُ لِيَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ وَلَا لِيَهْدِيَهُمْ سَبِيْلًاۗ

     Innal-lażīna āmanū ṡumma kafarū ṡumma āmanū ṡumma kafarū ṡummazdādū kufral lam yakunillāhu liyagfira lahum wa lā liyahdiyahum sabīlā(n).

     Indeed, those who believed then disbelieved, then believed and again disbelieved—˹only˺ increasing in disbelief—Allah will neither forgive them nor guide them to the ˹Right˺ Way.

138. بَشِّرِ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ بِاَنَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا اَلِيْمًاۙ

     Basysyiril-munāfiqīna bi'anna lahum ‘ażāban alīmā(n).

     Give good news of a painful punishment to hypocrites,

139. ۨالَّذِيْنَ يَتَّخِذُوْنَ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ مِنْ دُوْنِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ ۗ اَيَبْتَغُوْنَ عِنْدَهُمُ الْعِزَّةَ فَاِنَّ الْعِزَّةَ لِلّٰهِ جَمِيْعًاۗ

     Al-lażīna yattakhiżūnal-kāfirīna auliyā'a min dūnil-mu'minīn(a), ayabtagūna ‘indahumul-‘izzata fa innal-‘izzata lillāhi jamī‘ā(n).

     who choose disbelievers as allies instead of the believers. Do they seek honour and power through that company? Surely all honour and power belongs to Allah.

140. وَقَدْ نَزَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِى الْكِتٰبِ اَنْ اِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ يُكْفَرُ بِهَا وَيُسْتَهْزَاُ بِهَا فَلَا تَقْعُدُوْا مَعَهُمْ حَتّٰى يَخُوْضُوْا فِيْ حَدِيْثٍ غَيْرِهٖٓ ۖ اِنَّكُمْ اِذًا مِّثْلُهُمْ ۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ جَامِعُ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ وَالْكٰفِرِيْنَ فِيْ جَهَنَّمَ جَمِيْعًاۙ

     Wa qad nazzala ‘alaikum fil-kitābi an iżā sami‘tum āyātillāhi yukfaru bihā wa yustahza'u bihā falā taq‘udū ma‘ahum ḥattā yakhūḍū fī ḥadīṡin gairih(ī), innakum iżam miṡlahum, innallāha jāmi‘ul-munāfiqīna wal-kāfirīna fī jahannama jamī‘ā(n).

     He has already revealed to you in the Book that when you hear Allah’s revelations being denied or ridiculed, then do not sit in that company unless they engage in a different topic, or else you will be like them. Surely Allah will gather the hypocrites and disbelievers all together in Hell.

141. ۨالَّذِيْنَ يَتَرَبَّصُوْنَ بِكُمْۗ فَاِنْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فَتْحٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ قَالُوْٓا اَلَمْ نَكُنْ مَّعَكُمْ ۖ وَاِنْ كَانَ لِلْكٰفِرِيْنَ نَصِيْبٌ قَالُوْٓا اَلَمْ نَسْتَحْوِذْ عَلَيْكُمْ وَنَمْنَعْكُمْ مِّنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ ۗ فَاللّٰهُ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ ۗ وَلَنْ يَّجْعَلَ اللّٰهُ لِلْكٰفِرِيْنَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ سَبِيْلًا ࣖ

     Al-lażīna yatarabbaṣūna bikum, fa in kāna lakum fatḥum minallāhi qālū alam nakum ma‘akum, wa in kāna lil-kāfirīna naṣībun qālū alam nastaḥwiż ‘alaikum wa namna‘kum minal-mu'minīn(a), fallāhu yaḥkumu bainakum yaumal-qiyāmah(ti), wa lay yaj‘alallāhu lil-kāfirīna ‘alal-mu'minīna sabīlā(n).

     ˹The hypocrites are˺ those who wait to see what happens to you. So if Allah grants you victory, they say ˹to you˺, “Were we not on your side?” But if the disbelievers have a share ˹of victory˺, they say ˹to them˺, “Did we not have the advantage over you, yet we protected you from the believers?” Allah will judge between ˹all of˺ you on the Day of Judgment. And Allah will never grant the disbelievers a way over the believers.

142. اِنَّ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ يُخٰدِعُوْنَ اللّٰهَ وَهُوَ خَادِعُهُمْۚ وَاِذَا قَامُوْٓا اِلَى الصَّلٰوةِ قَامُوْا كُسَالٰىۙ يُرَاۤءُوْنَ النَّاسَ وَلَا يَذْكُرُوْنَ اللّٰهَ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًاۖ

     Innal-munāfiqīna yukhādi‘ūnallāha wa huwa khādi‘uhum, wa iżā qāmū ilaṣ-ṣalāti qāmū kusālā, yurā'ūnan-nāsa wa lā yażkurūnallāha illā qalīlā(n).

     Surely the hypocrites seek to deceive Allah, but He outwits them. When they stand up for prayer, they do it half-heartedly only to be seen by people—hardly remembering Allah at all.

143. مُّذَبْذَبِيْنَ بَيْنَ ذٰلِكَۖ لَآ اِلٰى هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ وَلَآ اِلٰى هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ ۗ وَمَنْ يُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهٗ سَبِيْلًا

     Mużabżabīna baina żālik(a), lā ilā ha'ulā'i wa lā ilā ha'ulā'(i), wa may yuḍlilillāhu falan tajida lahū sabīlā(n).

     Torn between belief and disbelief—belonging neither to these ˹believers˺ nor those ˹disbelievers˺. And whoever Allah leaves to stray, you will never find for them a way.

144. يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الْكٰفِرِيْنَ اَوْلِيَاۤءَ مِنْ دُوْنِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ ۚ اَتُرِيْدُوْنَ اَنْ تَجْعَلُوْا لِلّٰهِ عَلَيْكُمْ سُلْطٰنًا مُّبِيْنًا

     Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū lā tattakhiżul-kāfirīna auliyā'a min dūnil-mu'minīn(a), aturīdūna an taj‘alū lillāhi ‘alaikum sulṭānam mubīnā(n).

     O believers! Do not take disbelievers as allies instead of the believers. Would you like to give Allah solid proof against yourselves?

145. اِنَّ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ فِى الدَّرْكِ الْاَسْفَلِ مِنَ النَّارِۚ وَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهُمْ نَصِيْرًاۙ

     Innal-munāfiqīna fid-darkil-asfali minan-nār(i), wa lan tajida lahum naṣīrā(n).

     Surely the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire—and you will never find for them any helper—

146. اِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ تَابُوْا وَاَصْلَحُوْا وَاعْتَصَمُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَاَخْلَصُوْا دِيْنَهُمْ لِلّٰهِ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ مَعَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَۗ وَسَوْفَ يُؤْتِ اللّٰهُ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ اَجْرًا عَظِيْمًا

     Illal-lażīna tābū wa aṣlaḥū wa‘taṣamū billāhi wa akhlaṣū dīnahum lillāhi fa ulā'ika ma‘al-mu'minīn(a), wa saufa yu'tillāhul mu'minīna ajran ‘aẓīmā(n).

     except those who repent, mend their ways, hold fast to Allah, and are sincere in their devotion to Allah; they will be with the believers. And Allah will grant the believers a great reward.

147. مَا يَفْعَلُ اللّٰهُ بِعَذَابِكُمْ اِنْ شَكَرْتُمْ وَاٰمَنْتُمْۗ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ شَاكِرًا عَلِيْمًا ۔

     Mā yaf‘alullāhu bi‘ażābikum in syakartum wa āmantum, wa kānallāhu syākiran ‘alīmā(n).

     Why should Allah punish you if you are grateful and faithful? Allah is ever Appreciative, All-Knowing.

148. ۞ لَا يُحِبُّ اللّٰهُ الْجَهْرَ بِالسُّوْۤءِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ اِلَّا مَنْ ظُلِمَ ۗ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ سَمِيْعًا عَلِيْمًا

     Lā yuḥibbullāhul-jahra bis-sū'i minal-qauli illā man ẓulim(a), wa kānallāhu samī‘an ‘alīmā(n).

     Allah does not like negative thoughts to be voiced—except by those who have been wronged. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

149. اِنْ تُبْدُوْا خَيْرًا اَوْ تُخْفُوْهُ اَوْ تَعْفُوْا عَنْ سُوْۤءٍ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَفُوًّا قَدِيْرًا

     In tubdū khairan au tukhfūhu au ta‘fū ‘an sū'in fa innallāha kāna ‘afuwwan qadīrā(n).

     Whether you reveal or conceal a good or pardon an evil—surely Allah is Ever-Pardoning, Most Capable.

150. اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يَكْفُرُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَرُسُلِهٖ وَيُرِيْدُوْنَ اَنْ يُّفَرِّقُوْا بَيْنَ اللّٰهِ وَرُسُلِهٖ وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ نُؤْمِنُ بِبَعْضٍ وَّنَكْفُرُ بِبَعْضٍۙ وَّيُرِيْدُوْنَ اَنْ يَّتَّخِذُوْا بَيْنَ ذٰلِكَ سَبِيْلًاۙ

     Innal-lażīna yakfurūna billāhi wa rusulihī wa yurīdūna ay yufarriqū bainallāhi wa rusulihī wa yaqūlūna nu'minu biba‘ḍin wa nakfuru biba‘ḍ(in), wa yurīdūna ay yattakhiżū baina żālika sabīlā(n).

     Surely those who deny Allah and His messengers and wish to make a distinction between Allah and His messengers, saying, “We believe in some and disbelieve in others,” desiring to forge a compromise,

151. اُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ حَقًّا ۚوَاَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكٰفِرِيْنَ عَذَابًا مُّهِيْنًا

     Ulā'ika humul-kāfirūna ḥaqqā(n), wa a‘tadnā lil-kāfirīna ‘ażābam muhīnā(n).

     they are indeed the true disbelievers. And We have prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment.

152. وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَرُسُلِهٖ وَلَمْ يُفَرِّقُوْا بَيْنَ اَحَدٍ مِّنْهُمْ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ سَوْفَ يُؤْتِيْهِمْ اُجُوْرَهُمْ ۗوَكَانَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِيْمًا ࣖ

     Wal-lażīna āmanū billāhi wa rusulihī wa lam yufarriqū baina aḥadim minhum ulā'ika saufa nu'tīhim ujūrahum, wa kānallāhu gafūrar raḥīmā(n).

     As for those who believe in Allah and His messengers—accepting all; rejecting none—He will surely give them their rewards. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

153. يَسْـَٔلُكَ اَهْلُ الْكِتٰبِ اَنْ تُنَزِّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ كِتٰبًا مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ فَقَدْ سَاَلُوْا مُوْسٰٓى اَكْبَرَ مِنْ ذٰلِكَ فَقَالُوْٓا اَرِنَا اللّٰهَ جَهْرَةً فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّاعِقَةُ بِظُلْمِهِمْۚ ثُمَّ اتَّخَذُوا الْعِجْلَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَاۤءَتْهُمُ الْبَيِّنٰتُ فَعَفَوْنَا عَنْ ذٰلِكَ ۚ وَاٰتَيْنَا مُوْسٰى سُلْطٰنًا مُّبِيْنًا

     Yas'aluka ahlul-kitābi an tunazzila ‘alaihim kitābam minas-samā'i faqad sa'alū mūsā akbara min żālika fa qālū arinallāha jahratan fa akhażathumuṣ-ṣā‘iqatu bi ẓulmihim, ṡummattakhażul-‘ijla mim ba‘di mā jā'athumul-bayyinātu fa ‘afaunā ‘an żālik(a), wa ātainā mūsā sulṭānam mubīnā(n).

     The People of the Book demand that you ˹O Prophet˺ bring down for them a revelation in writing from heaven. They demanded what is even greater than this from Moses, saying, “Make Allah visible to us!” So a thunderbolt struck them for their wrongdoing. Then they took the calf for worship after receiving clear signs. Still We forgave them for that ˹after their repentance˺ and gave Moses compelling proof.

154. وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَهُمُ الطُّوْرَ بِمِيْثَاقِهِمْ وَقُلْنَا لَهُمُ ادْخُلُوا الْبَابَ سُجَّدًا وَّقُلْنَا لَهُمْ لَا تَعْدُوْا فِى السَّبْتِ وَاَخَذْنَا مِنْهُمْ مِّيْثَاقًا غَلِيْظًا

     Wa rafa‘nā fauqahumuṭ ṭūra bimīṡāqihim wa qulnā lahumudkhulul-bāba sujjadaw wa qulnā lahum lā ta‘dū fis-sabti wa akhażnā minhum mīṡāqan galīẓā(n).

     We raised the Mount over them ˹as a warning˺ for ˹breaking˺ their covenant and said, “Enter the gate ˹of Jerusalem˺ with humility.” We also warned them, “Do not break the Sabbath,” and took from them a firm covenant.

155. فَبِمَا نَقْضِهِمْ مِّيْثَاقَهُمْ وَكُفْرِهِمْ بِاٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ وَقَتْلِهِمُ الْاَنْۢبِيَاۤءَ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ وَّقَوْلِهِمْ قُلُوْبُنَا غُلْفٌ ۗ بَلْ طَبَعَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهَا بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَلَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًاۖ

     Fabimā naqḍihim mīṡāqahum wa kufrihim bi'āyātillāhi wa qatlihimul-ambiyā'a bigairi ḥaqqiw wa qaulihim qulūbunā gulf(un), bal ṭaba‘allāhu ‘alaihā bikufrihim falā yu'minūna illā qalīlā(n).

     ˹They were condemned˺ for breaking their covenant, rejecting Allah’s signs, killing the prophets unjustly, and for saying, “Our hearts are unreceptive!”—it is Allah Who has sealed their hearts for their disbelief, so they do not believe except for a few—

156. وَّبِكُفْرِهِمْ وَقَوْلِهِمْ عَلٰى مَرْيَمَ بُهْتَانًا عَظِيْمًاۙ

     Wa bikufrihim wa qaulihim ‘alā maryama buhtānan ‘aẓīmā(n).

     and for their denial and outrageous accusation against Mary,

157. وَّقَوْلِهِمْ اِنَّا قَتَلْنَا الْمَسِيْحَ عِيْسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ رَسُوْلَ اللّٰهِۚ وَمَا قَتَلُوْهُ وَمَا صَلَبُوْهُ وَلٰكِنْ شُبِّهَ لَهُمْ ۗوَاِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اخْتَلَفُوْا فِيْهِ لَفِيْ شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ ۗمَا لَهُمْ بِهٖ مِنْ عِلْمٍ اِلَّا اتِّبَاعَ الظَّنِّ وَمَا قَتَلُوْهُ يَقِيْنًاۢ ۙ

     Wa qaulihim innā qatalnal-masīḥa ‘īsabna maryama rasūlallāh(i), wa mā qatalūhu wa mā ṣalabūhu wa lākin syubbiha lahum, wa innal-lażīnakhtalafū fīhi lafī syakkim minh(u), mā lahum bihī min ‘ilmin illattibā‘aẓ-ẓanni wa mā qatalūhu yaqīnā(n).

     and for boasting, “We killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of Allah.” But they neither killed nor crucified him—it was only made to appear so. Even those who argue for this ˹crucifixion˺ are in doubt. They have no knowledge whatsoever—only making assumptions. They certainly did not kill him.

158. بَلْ رَّفَعَهُ اللّٰهُ اِلَيْهِ ۗوَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَزِيْزًا حَكِيْمًا

     Bar rafa‘ahullāhu ilaih(i), wa kānallāhu ‘azīzan ḥakīmā(n).

     Rather, Allah raised him up to Himself. And Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.

159. وَاِنْ مِّنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ اِلَّا لَيُؤْمِنَنَّ بِهٖ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهٖ ۚوَيَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ يَكُوْنُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيْدًاۚ

     Wa im min ahlil-kitābi illā layu'minanna bihī qabla mautih(ī), wa yaumal-qiyāmati yakūnu ‘alaihim syahīdā(n).

     Every one of the People of the Book will definitely believe in him before his death. And on the Day of Judgment Jesus will be a witness against them.

160. فَبِظُلْمٍ مِّنَ الَّذِيْنَ هَادُوْا حَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ طَيِّبٰتٍ اُحِلَّتْ لَهُمْ وَبِصَدِّهِمْ عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ كَثِيْرًاۙ

     Fa biẓulmim minal-lażīna hādū ḥarramnā ‘alaihim ṭayyibātin uḥillat lahum wa biṣaddihim ‘an sabīlillāhi kaṡīrā(n).

     We forbade the Jews certain foods that had been lawful to them for their wrongdoing, and for hindering many from the Way of Allah,

161. وَّاَخْذِهِمُ الرِّبٰوا وَقَدْ نُهُوْا عَنْهُ وَاَكْلِهِمْ اَمْوَالَ النَّاسِ بِالْبَاطِلِ ۗوَاَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكٰفِرِيْنَ مِنْهُمْ عَذَابًا اَلِيْمًا

     Wa akhżihimur-ribā wa qad nuhū ‘anhu wa aklihim amwālan-nāsi bil-bāṭil(i), wa a‘tadnā lil-kāfirīna minhum ‘ażāban alīmā(n).

     taking interest despite its prohibition, and consuming people’s wealth unjustly. We have prepared for the disbelievers among them a painful punishment.

162. لٰكِنِ الرّٰسِخُوْنَ فِى الْعِلْمِ مِنْهُمْ وَالْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِمَآ اُنْزِلَ اِلَيْكَ وَمَآ اُنْزِلَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ وَالْمُقِيْمِيْنَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَالْمُؤْتُوْنَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَالْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ سَنُؤْتِيْهِمْ اَجْرًا عَظِيْمًا ࣖ

     Lākinir-rāsikhūna fil-‘ilmi minhum wal-mu'minūna yu'minūna bimā unzila ilaika wa mā unzila min qablika wal-muqīmīnaṣ-ṣalāta wal-mu'tūnaz-zakāta wal-mu'minūna billāhi wal-yaumil-ākhir(i), ulā'ika sanu'tīhim ajran ‘aẓīmā(n).

     But those of them well-grounded in knowledge, the faithful ˹who˺ believe in what has been revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ and what was revealed before you—˹especially˺ those who establish prayer—and those who pay alms-tax and believe in Allah and the Last Day, to these ˹people˺ We will grant a great reward.

163. ۞ اِنَّآ اَوْحَيْنَآ اِلَيْكَ كَمَآ اَوْحَيْنَآ اِلٰى نُوْحٍ وَّالنَّبِيّٖنَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهٖۚ وَاَوْحَيْنَآ اِلٰٓى اِبْرٰهِيْمَ وَاِسْمٰعِيْلَ وَاِسْحٰقَ وَيَعْقُوْبَ وَالْاَسْبَاطِ وَعِيْسٰى وَاَيُّوْبَ وَيُوْنُسَ وَهٰرُوْنَ وَسُلَيْمٰنَ ۚوَاٰتَيْنَا دَاوٗدَ زَبُوْرًاۚ

     Innā auḥainā ilaika kamā auḥainā ilā nūḥiw wan-nabiyyīna mim ba‘dih(ī), wa auḥainā ilā ibrāhīma wa ismā‘īla wa isḥāqa wa ya‘qūba wal-asbāṭi wa ‘īsā wa ayyūba wa yūnusa wa hārūna wa sulaimān(a), wa ātainā dāwūda zabūrā(n).

     Indeed, We have sent revelation to you ˹O Prophet˺ as We sent revelation to Noah and the prophets after him. We also sent revelation to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants, ˹as well as˺ Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon. And to David We gave the Psalms.

164. وَرُسُلًا قَدْ قَصَصْنٰهُمْ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَرُسُلًا لَّمْ نَقْصُصْهُمْ عَلَيْكَ ۗوَكَلَّمَ اللّٰهُ مُوْسٰى تَكْلِيْمًاۚ

     Wa rusulan qad qaṣaṣnāhum ‘alaika wa rusulal lam naqṣuṣhum ‘alaik(a), wa kallamallāhu mūsā taklīmā(n).

     There are messengers whose stories We have told you already and others We have not. And to Moses Allah spoke directly.

165. رُسُلًا مُّبَشِّرِيْنَ وَمُنْذِرِيْنَ لِئَلَّا يَكُوْنَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَى اللّٰهِ حُجَّةٌ ۢ بَعْدَ الرُّسُلِ ۗوَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَزِيْزًا حَكِيْمًا

     Rusulam mubasysyirīna wa munżirīna li'allā yakūna lin-nāsi ‘alallāhi ḥujjatum ba‘dar-rusul(i), wa kānallāhu ‘azīzan ḥakīmā(n).

     ˹All were˺ messengers delivering good news and warnings so humanity should have no excuse before Allah after ˹the coming of˺ the messengers. And Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.

166. لٰكِنِ اللّٰهُ يَشْهَدُ بِمَآ اَنْزَلَ اِلَيْكَ اَنْزَلَهٗ بِعِلْمِهٖ ۚوَالْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةُ يَشْهَدُوْنَ ۗوَكَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ شَهِيْدًاۗ

     Lākinillāhu yasyhadu bimā anzala ilaika anzalahū bi‘ilmih(ī), wal-malā'ikatu yasyhadūn(a), wa kafā billāhi syahīdā(n).

     Yet ˹if you are denied, O Prophet,˺ Allah bears witness to what He has sent down to you—He has sent it with His knowledge. The angels too bear witness. And Allah ˹alone˺ is sufficient as a Witness.

167. اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَصَدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ قَدْ ضَلُّوْا ضَلٰلًا ۢ بَعِيْدًا

     Innal-lażīna kafarū wa ṣaddū ‘an sabīlillāhi qad ḍallū ḍalālam ba‘īdā(n).

     Those who disbelieve and hinder ˹others˺ from the Way of Allah have certainly strayed far away.

168. اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَظَلَمُوْا لَمْ يَكُنِ اللّٰهُ لِيَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ وَلَا لِيَهْدِيَهُمْ طَرِيْقًاۙ

     Innal-lażīna kafarū wa ẓalamū lam yakunillāhu liyagfira lahum wa lā liyahdiyahum ṭarīqā(n).

     Those who disbelieve and wrong themselves—surely Allah will neither forgive them nor guide them to any path

169. اِلَّا طَرِيْقَ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَآ اَبَدًا ۗوَكَانَ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ يَسِيْرًا

     Illā ṭarīqa jahannama khālidīna fīhā abadā(n), wa kāna żālika ‘alallāhi yasīrā(n).

     except that of Hell, to stay there for ever and ever. And that is easy for Allah.

170. يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَاۤءَكُمُ الرَّسُوْلُ بِالْحَقِّ مِنْ رَّبِّكُمْ فَاٰمِنُوْا خَيْرًا لَّكُمْ ۗوَاِنْ تَكْفُرُوْا فَاِنَّ لِلّٰهِ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلِيْمًا حَكِيْمًا

     Yā ayyuhan-nāsu qad jā'akumur-rasūlu bil-ḥaqqi mir rabbikum fa āminū khairal lakum, wa in takfurū fa inna lillāhi mā fis-samāwāti wal-arḍ(i), wa kānallāhu ‘alīman ḥakīmā(n).

     O humanity! The Messenger has certainly come to you with the truth from your Lord, so believe for your own good. But if you disbelieve, then ˹know that˺ to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

171. يٰٓاَهْلَ الْكِتٰبِ لَا تَغْلُوْا فِيْ دِيْنِكُمْ وَلَا تَقُوْلُوْا عَلَى اللّٰهِ اِلَّا الْحَقَّۗ اِنَّمَا الْمَسِيْحُ عِيْسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ رَسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ وَكَلِمَتُهٗ ۚ اَلْقٰىهَآ اِلٰى مَرْيَمَ وَرُوْحٌ مِّنْهُ ۖفَاٰمِنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَرُسُلِهٖۗ وَلَا تَقُوْلُوْا ثَلٰثَةٌ ۗاِنْتَهُوْا خَيْرًا لَّكُمْ ۗ اِنَّمَا اللّٰهُ اِلٰهٌ وَّاحِدٌ ۗ سُبْحٰنَهٗٓ اَنْ يَّكُوْنَ لَهٗ وَلَدٌ ۘ لَهٗ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الْاَرْضِۗ وَكَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ وَكِيْلًا ࣖ

     Yā ahlal-kitābi lā taglū fī dīnikum wa lā taqūlū ‘alallāhi illal-ḥaqq(a), innamal-masīḥu ‘īsabnu maryama rasūlullāhi wa kalimatuh(ū), alqāhā ilā maryama wa rūḥum minh(u), fa āminū billāhi wa rusulih(ī), wa lā taqūlū ṡalāṡah(tun), inntahū khairal lakum innamallāhu ilāhuw wāḥid(un), subḥānahū ay yakūna lahū walad(un), lahū mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ(i), wa kafā billāhi wakīlā(n).

     O People of the Book! Do not go to extremes regarding your faith; say nothing about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was no more than a messenger of Allah and the fulfilment of His Word through Mary and a spirit ˹created by a command˺ from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers and do not say, “Trinity.” Stop!—for your own good. Allah is only One God. Glory be to Him! He is far above having a son! To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And Allah is sufficient as a Trustee of Affairs.

172. لَنْ يَّسْتَنْكِفَ الْمَسِيْحُ اَنْ يَّكُوْنَ عَبْدًا لِّلّٰهِ وَلَا الْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةُ الْمُقَرَّبُوْنَۗ وَمَنْ يَّسْتَنْكِفْ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهٖ وَيَسْتَكْبِرْ فَسَيَحْشُرُهُمْ اِلَيْهِ جَمِيْعًا

     Lay yastankifal-masīḥu ay yakūna ‘abdal lillāhi wa lal-malā'ikatul-muqarrabūn(a), wa may yastankif ‘an ‘ibādatihī wa yastakbir fa sayaḥsyuruhum ilaihi jamī‘ā(n).

     The Messiah would never be too proud to be a servant of Allah, nor would the angels nearest to Allah. Those who are too proud and arrogant to worship Him will be brought before Him all together.

173. فَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ فَيُوَفِّيْهِمْ اُجُوْرَهُمْ وَيَزِيْدُهُمْ مِّنْ فَضْلِهٖۚ وَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ اسْتَنْكَفُوْا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوْا فَيُعَذِّبُهُمْ عَذَابًا اَلِيْمًاۙ وَّلَا يَجِدُوْنَ لَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ وَلِيًّا وَّلَا نَصِيْرًا

     Fa ammal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti fa yuwaffīhim ujūrahum wa yazīduhum min faḍlih(ī), wa ammal-lażīnastankafū wastakbarū fa yu‘ażżibuhum ‘ażāban alīmā(n), wa lā yajidūna lahum min dūnillāhi waliyyaw wa lā naṣīrā(n).

     As for those who believe and do good, He will reward them in full and increase them out of His grace. But those who are too proud and arrogant, He will subject them to a painful punishment. And besides Allah they will find no protector or helper.

174. يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَاۤءَكُمْ بُرْهَانٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ وَاَنْزَلْنَآ اِلَيْكُمْ نُوْرًا مُّبِيْنًا

     Yā ayyuhan-nāsu qad jā'akum burhānum mir rabbikum wa anzalnā ilaikum nūram mubīnā(n).

     O humanity! There has come to you conclusive evidence from your Lord. And We have sent down to you a brilliant light.

175. فَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَاعْتَصَمُوْا بِهٖ فَسَيُدْخِلُهُمْ فِيْ رَحْمَةٍ مِّنْهُ وَفَضْلٍۙ وَّيَهْدِيْهِمْ اِلَيْهِ صِرَاطًا مُّسْتَقِيْمًاۗ

     Fa ammal-lażīna āmanū billāhi wa‘taṣamū bihī fa sayudkhiluhum fī raḥmatim minhu wa faḍl(in), wa yahdīhim ilaihi ṣirāṭam mustaqīmā(n).

     As for those who believe in Allah and hold fast to Him, He will admit them into His mercy and grace and guide them to Himself through the Straight Path.

176. يَسْتَفْتُوْنَكَۗ قُلِ اللّٰهُ يُفْتِيْكُمْ فِى الْكَلٰلَةِ ۗاِنِ امْرُؤٌا هَلَكَ لَيْسَ لَهٗ وَلَدٌ وَّلَهٗٓ اُخْتٌ فَلَهَا نِصْفُ مَا تَرَكَۚ وَهُوَ يَرِثُهَآ اِنْ لَّمْ يَكُنْ لَّهَا وَلَدٌ ۚ فَاِنْ كَانَتَا اثْنَتَيْنِ فَلَهُمَا الثُّلُثٰنِ مِمَّا تَرَكَ ۗوَاِنْ كَانُوْٓا اِخْوَةً رِّجَالًا وَّنِسَاۤءً فَلِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الْاُنْثَيَيْنِۗ يُبَيِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ اَنْ تَضِلُّوْا ۗ وَاللّٰهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمٌ ࣖ

     Yastaftūnak(a), qulillāhu yuftīkum fil-kalālah(ti), inimru'un halaka laisa lahū waladuw wa lahū ukhtun fa lahā niṣfu mā tarak(a), wa huwa yariṡuhā illam yakul lahā walad(un), fa in kānataṡnataini fa lahumaṡ-ṡuluṡāni mimmā tarak(a), wa in kānū ikhwatar rijālaw wa nisā'an fa liż-żakari miṡlu ḥaẓẓil-unṡayain(i), yubayyinullāhu lakum an taḍillū, wallāhu bikulli syai'in ‘alīm(un).

     They ask you ˹for a ruling, O Prophet˺. Say, “Allah gives you a ruling regarding those who die without children or parents.” If a man dies childless and leaves behind a sister, she will inherit one-half of his estate, whereas her brother will inherit all of her estate if she dies childless. If this person leaves behind two sisters, they together will inherit two-thirds of the estate. But if the deceased leaves male and female siblings, a male’s share will be equal to that of two females. Allah makes ˹this˺ clear to you so you do not go astray. And Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.
